Re: Ending the Great Pill Price Hike
by wataylor

With the government messing up so badly on something as simple as making sure that women get their pills, how can we trust them to be any more involved in health care?

As this article explains, they're taying to ban cough syrup for young kids because some parents cant read the directions....

This sort of health care, we don't need.

Drug Cos make even more Money than Oil Cos.

They are Unethical Monsters .

Their well advertised Greyhound bus for 49 states isn't even a bandaid, it is a JOKE !

BUT --- The Solution is easy !

Since the Drug Greedies have collectively eliminated Competition ---

(1) Let Users buy Direct from Overseas Suppliers.

Canadian Rx are 20 to 80 % Cheaper --- often from the same Mfg. !!!

(2) let Medicare take Bids --- for their Volume they should get a 100% , or more , discount.

(3) State and Fed. Governments start Mfg. the Drugs.

"With the government messing up so badly on something as simple as making sure that women get their pills, how can we trust them to be any more involved in health care?"

Why is the government responsible to make sure that someone who CHOOSES to have sex gets their pill so they won't get pregnant?

A person who smokes already pays as much if not more in taxes than the cigarettes themselves cost and people want them to pay higher Health Insurance premiums because they are at a higher risk of being unhealthy and use more insurance than the person that doesn't smoke. They want the obese person to pay higher premiums for the same reason. Both of those are choices that we make by our lifestyle (although some obese people are so due to medical reasons). So under that premise, if a woman doesn't want to have kids but wants to have sex and doesn't use contraception because she doesn't want to pay full price for it then she is at a higher risk for using more insurance, maybe they should be charged higher premiums if they don't use contraception instead of being given a discount.

This may sound silly to you (it actually does to me) but in reality it comes down to being no different than others having to take responsibility for their choices, good or bad.

the usa reilable companies should always as the experts make the medicine needed and that works. Which is what congress and other agencies is doing now warning americans about the bad medicines on the market both over the counter and p rscription. The ones that should anwser andbe fined or put out of buisness are the pharmcists and large stores that knew the side effects for americans and still sold the medicines since they had stocks in the over seas companies doing this.for example viagra is made by many diferent companies. The good drug without the very serious side effects is of course the old american companies that are trust worthy. The bad viagra is made by foreign countries and has veryss erious side effects.
