Drug Reimportation Bill and the Backdoor





The assumption that Pharma makes a great profit from countries with price controls is wrong. The one about being able to put regulatory watches on reimported drugs is wrong since the US has no jurisdiction outside its borders.

Reimportation, the term itself is aniquated and is as bad as misremembering ala Roger Clemens.

You are either principled about this or you are not. Those for reimportation are basically thumbing their nose at the laws and patents of the US. They are also opening up further opportunities for tort lawyers to have many great days.

Why then should I not be able to take an illegal immigrant, reimport him into the country (yes reimport) and replace you and pay a wage that they will accept?

Principles my liberal friends.


Nonsense and not a Liberal Notion.
 




the personal vendettas of politicians is never a good thing. McCain blames his failure to be President on the money pharma gave to the GW campaign, and it continues to drive him. FRanken is from a state so messed up that their teachers live in poverty and he still pines for Wellstone and his days as a drug addict on SNL. This is a marriage of wackjobs and uncontrolled emotional anguish. That makes for bad policy.

Drug Companies, Insurance Companies or ANY company who skims off the taxpayer, should not be allowed to write policies. THAT is bad policy.

Sooner or later we will have Universal Healthcare, so all of this will be a mute issue. USA will be another country where medications will have to be sold at the same prices as Candada.

And to what country will you go when you are denied what you need, or told to wait for that operation, or that you are too old? Thats reality, unlike your drivel. UH is not guaranteed to happen, easpecially since BO is going to be a one termer just like Jimmy and George HW

The operations people having longs waits for are Elective Operations, like joint replacements.
Emergency surguries are handled accordingly just as they are here. You really need to talk to people who live in Canada or Great Britain rather than listening to propaganda from the Insurance Companies, etc.

Universal Healthcare may not be an entity in the next four or even 8 years, but we will end up having to resort to it due to the need for cost controls. Either UHC OR government regulations on pricing.

Moron!!! 45,000 Americans die every year because they do not have any healthcare coverage. More than 50% of personal bankruptcies in America are caused by medical costs. And all you can do is bitch about other countries. You're a true Republican - a self-serving ignorant moron.

You are a typical liberal, resorting to name calling and throwing out false data as if it were true. Go watch your hero Ed or Rachel.
 




Not to mention the Millions of prescriptions that aren't filled a year because of the costs of drugs.

Single Payer Healthcare for All! The Time is Near. Sooner or later we are going to get Politicans who just say "NO" to Pharma's demands and listen to the needs of the American People.
