Re: Canada's Internet Pharmacies Thriving On Business From U.S.
Gail That was very eloquent, and right-on.
This is a tragedy what has happened really...drug company reps come into doctors offices with samples, toys, pads, race cars, pens, gifts, trips, gimmicks of all kinds to get docs to prescribe their drugs.
They profit off of what National Institutes of Health discovers through research, breakthroughs from the American Heart and Cancer Associations, March of Dimes and all other research that you and I donate to to fine cures for these horrible diseases
They give parties ...run million dollar ads on TV and run glossy full page ads in all the fancy magazines. The pharmaceutical lobbyists on Capital Hill pay to control votes and laws controlling them with party donations.
Meanwhile our most vulnerable society our chronically ill, our disabled, our unemployed and uninsured, or seniors must decide daily between food, clothing, utilities and buying medication to relieve pain and suffering.
One drug for a disabled American with Multiple Sclerosis is $1,100 a month without which they will succumb to this horrible disease earlier than they would have.
To qualify for total disability you have to be completely unable to earn a living. It takes two years on Social Security [which can be as little as $400 a month...and they call this "an award" ] before you quality for Medicare, which by the way has had NO drug benefit. The "NEW" medicare law is so embarrassingly PATHETIC that those in need still won't get any help but the Congress, Senate and White House are strutting around like they have done something GRAND ...believe me that have sacrificed our weakest...... they have sold out us all... they have outright LIED.
So I say GOD BLESS CANADA . God Bless those Internet Pharmacies... they are booming because the pain and suffering in America is so great.
Gail Vass, R.N.
