Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 After you read this article, it will shake you up and hopefully get mad enough to click on the link to write you congressman from your district and both senators. It is so easy to do, why wouldn't you want to, would be my question. This article covers how much we pay for drugs and why, it's a big rip off and who is responsible? Big government and greedy pharma. http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2009/aug2009_The-Generic-Drug-Rip-Off_01.htm The author, Faloon says: " If what I expose in this article does not motivate citizens to take action, I don’t know what will. It is beyond my comprehension that the common-sense free market solution I propose will be ignored by the American citizenry. The reason for high-priced generics is not because the active ingredients are expensive. On the contrary, compared with complicated nutrient extracts, the ingredients in drugs are usually synthetic chemicals that cost only pennies a day. The culprit behind overpriced generic drugs is an archaic regulatory environment that functions to protect pharmaceutical financial interests, forcing consumers to pay artificially inflated prices for their generic medications. " This is only a small part of the article. Read it its entirety and decide for yourself who is responsible for the high costs of your drugs. I didn't write it, but I invite your comments.
