Hey man, I dunno these pharma patents hang for 12 years on the pills they say eh, generic, blue, red, whatever.
I just know when I go into my local drug store, I hate to see that crap on sale y'know the bs, affedrin, head-on-apply-directly-to-the-forehead crap, get-slim-quick drinks and the like.
Does that crap fall under the 35 billion dollar alternative medicine category?
I know there are some home remedy folks out there, more power to them. I hope those sort-of books stay in publication if they are worth a shit, better stock up on them before they yank em from the shelves. <---(joke, its a joke)
But in reality, I would like to have a regulated type of free market somehow if it lowers the cost of prescriptions, and maintains my safety as a consumer in this nation. I mean come on, at the price some of this BS is selling for, you'd think they were drilling on the moon to insist on maintaining these prices and consider hiking them!
It seems not alot of people want to get into health careers as well, shortage of nurses, doctors, staff, radiology, at least, in healthcare, there is ALOT of loot to play with Im sure, and again absolutely has to be a game of musical chairs too Id say, just like the banks, but they are playing with us here too. Obama said we pay 77% more here in USA for our meds than any other country? Hypocondraics, Munchausen syndrome. Hey, maybe Attention Deficit Disorder ADD is a lie, Ill never know, or if your kid really NEEDS it, but hey your premium may cover it, so what the hell, put timmy on some crap why not.
I hope you are in good health today friends.
