Sounds about right.

Oh, and it wasn’t addictive enough.

Big Pharmas are the biggest drug pushers in America! They also have cures for many diseases and disorders they wont release because they’ll lose money…they would rather people die than cure them! On 60Minutes, a CEO said his first allegiance is to the stockholders and not patients! Right out of the horses mouth….NEIGH-ver lowing prices also!

I am sure this happens all the time, Ask Carter on Family Guy.

Amen to that! But just wait and see if BIG PHARMA ever admits that……..

Wow — that REALLY hits home in the heart of reality!

this is the story of antibiotics. the money is in long term care of chronic conditions.

The most recent glaring exception is the group of anti-virals that are treating/curing Hepatitis B. So well that they are able to take a Hep B positive liver from a drug overdose, transplant it into a negative patient, add the medication to the regimen for 12 weeks, and there is no virus in the recipient. Worked with a nurse who had a pat time job at the regional organ bank and they routinely do this. About the only benefit of the opioid deaths is that hundreds of thousands of organs have been able to be transplanted.

And within recent memory, these are about the only medications that actually cure a disease I’ve seen come on the market.

And…it’s a placebo!

That’s one of the biggest reasons our entire Healthcare System needs to be reformatted.

The other one is that General Practioners should be paid more than the Specialists.

Well, if you want the best and the brightest, don’t you have to pay them? and wouldn’t all the research be costly? I bet the equipment they use is state of the art so, not cheap either…

When will ‘We The People’ wake up to the fact that health care, drugs, doctors are not suited to be under the umbrella of capitalism and demand that another system be used. Why, because capitalism works its best when there is a ‘knowledgeable buyer and a knowledgeable seller’ which can not happen in the medical system. In capitalism you have the time to check out other prices, etc. while in an emergency one can not negotiate on price on one’s life. Greed has taken over our country because ‘we’ have let it. I am tired of the capitalist saying ‘well you wouldn’t have the drugs and new technology if you use a different system’. That is a bunch of BS as there will be others who will develope drugs, etc. without the need to demand an ‘arm and a leg’ because they are not driven by greed but because it is the right thing to do.Dog gone it, start electing people not on what they say but what they actually do and make all Federal Elections open primaries (using Ranked Choice Voting) to diminish the two parties who are puppets in the pockets of many corporations. If you want a better system then you have to get together with others, teach each other, and fight like hell to turn this ‘greed’ system off.

Dark side of capitalism — a drug company will always market/push a drug that you have to take every day to prevent a disease, over one that cures you with one pill.

Big Pharma needs another nice big Congressional tax cut.

I’m thinking that L’il Abner critter character, the bald iggle, must be roosting nearby. It was declared a menace, as it was a “cute little wide-eyed, guileless creature whose soulful gaze compelled everyone to involuntarily tell the truth — including lawyers, politicians, fishermen, advertisers, husbands, wives and used car salesmen”

This isn’t a joke. It’s literally the business model of pharmaceuticals companies.

She’s good at doing those ‘dose see dose’ isn’t she.

Like big tech some other beasts also think everybody else exists to serve them.

I’ve had that suspicion many times. Like cancer drugs that “extend” your life for several months in misery and cost many thousands of $$ per dose.
