It is clear that the pharmaceutical industry is not, by any stretch of the imagination, doing enough to ensure that the poor have access to adequate medical care.

Yes, because the poor are like helpless children that need cradle to grave parents, ensuring that all of their life's needs and wants are fulfilled.

Your statement is true about the industry as a whole, yet there are individuals who work for companies like ours, doing a lot more than you or I can say about ensuring adequate medical access for the poor.

But, it doesn't have to be that way...

You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization — including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility, and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain — without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.

Why not?
You'll have to provide extraordinary evidence for an extraordinary claim.
 
















Cheap blindness drug should be made widely available, says WHO

All countries should make available a cheap, unlicensed drug to prevent blindness in older people – one in preference to the expensive licensed version promoted by pharmaceutical companies, a World Health Organisation committee has ruled.

The WHO’s essential medicines committee has rejected an application from Novartis to have the expensive licensed drug Lucentis added to the list of drugs all countries should stock. The decision is a blow for the pharmaceutical companies that have been fighting the growing use of Avastin for age-related wet macular degeneration. Avastin, primarily a bowel cancer drug, is similar to Lucentis but 40 times cheaper when split into the tiny doses to be injected in the eye...

“Novartis are wasting their money and patient’s and public money, and risking the sight of many patients who cannot afford Lucentis, by attempting to market Lucentis as an alternative to Avastin when there is no significant clinical advantage to patients.”

Yeah... Maybe WHO should start producing drugs and give them away in giant penyatas around the world.

I see that you're a Conservative.*
Fantastic...

The National Review based in New York City and founded by William F. Buckley, Jr., considered one of the godfathers of American conservatism, is one of the oldest and most influential conservative magazines in the United States. It regularly publishes the work of some of the nation's leading conservatives. National Review Online provides some of the articles from the print publication online as well as original material. In the early 1990s they had, with the Heritage Foundation, a joint venture called 'Town Hall'. This BBS became a forum on Compuserve in 1994 and in June 1995 the web site 'townhall.com' went live. Townhall.com became a project of the Heritage Foundation until it was purchased in 2006 by Salem Communications Corporation. The current director of the National Review is Jeff Sandefer, President of the Texas-based energy investment firm Sandefer Capital...
Editorials featured in the National Review are reliably right wing, corporate and industry friendly with frequent use of excessive rhetoric. Editorials also source and reference industry lobbies such as Center for Consumer Freedom.

Much of Dalrymple's writing is based on his experience of working with criminals and the mentally ill.
Click to expand...


As is so often the case with Dalrymple’s writings, he relentlessly recounts horrific social ills in such a way as to plunge the reader into an abyss of cultural despair, rather than attempting to identify the principle of the social phenomena he’s describing, their moral and spiritual source. Such an examination might lead both author and reader to an understanding of the error that got society into this mess (and clear insight into a problem, even a terrible problem, is energizing rather than depressing), which in turn would suggest, at least in theory, a way out of the mess, namely the repudiation and reversal of the error. But no. The main thing for Dalrymple, a medical doctor who has abandoned his native England to live in France, is not diagnosis and cure, but indulgence in thoughts so black and searing that the closest equivalent I can think of is that ultimate literary nightmare, Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym."

We can describe it like this.
We can describe it like that.

It's just word salad at the end of the day.

Just like this one:

The great irony is that "civilization's downfall" doesn't necessarily require a hopeless, criminal, mentally ill rotten apples of an underclass social system.
We've always had an underclass, just the names and hues have changed over time, yet "civilization" kept on keeping on.

Truth is, current "civilization's downfall" will result from the prevailing "order" / "system" guiding human affairs since the last major turning point, an "order" / "system" which has so far been dependent on continual expansion no matter what the cost.

We just can't get enough, can we?

The choice is yours.
