Wouldn't it be terrible...

....if the recession were to hit greedy Big Pharma right in their bloated pocketbooks?! Of course they've very cleverly come up with a way to try to pull the wool over our eyes by appearing to have developed a collective conscience. But the announcement that they're cutting back on freebies to doctors, ostensibly to avoid the appearance of impropriety, sounds just a bit too high-minded, right? (So what took them so long?!) Check out a couple of letters to the editor at the New York Times from health care professionals who give their take on the matter.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/04/opinion/lweb04drug.htmlAnd then there's poor ol' Pfizer, fearing ruin when Lipitor's patent expires, having to resort to attempting to gobble up

some of their rivals in order to further inflate their own bottom line. But who's looking out for the ever-increasing hit to consumers' pocketbooks from overinflated drug prices? Sure, there's insurance coverage, but have you noticed in what direction the premiums are going, versus the benefits provided?! And it can only get worse if the biggies eliminate the competition by buying them out. As if Big Pharma's virtual ownership of the FDA weren't enough! But hey, maybe there's hope yet, in the form of the law of unintended consequences. The greedier the drug companies, the fewer the patients who can afford their wares! Especially in these current economic times. And regardless of any and all campaign promises, the government can rob to pay for only so long. Maybe that's why Pfizer is getting panicky?!http://tinyurl.com/7mzbly----- Fight back spam! Download the Blue Frog.
