Re: Why We Pay So Much For Drugs - Time Magazine

Are you personally connected to Bush/Cheney? Then why bother with all of your Edwards bashing when it has nothing to do with the rising cost of medication?



No. In fact, I'm only connected to "reality." To say that politics has NOTHING to do with the rising costs of drugs and healthcare is absurd. It doesn't matter to me if it's Edwards or a different lawyer. The peril is just the same. I take that back. It does matter to me that it's Edwards, because if he were elected, then it's HIGHLY LIKELY that he would continue to support the Trial Lawyers Assocation of America, who heavily contribute to these rising costs.

Case in point: It now costs a good (never been sued) OBGYN $90,000 per year for malpractice INSURANCE. It has gone up at least $20K per year every year since '99. The exact same thing is happening to "Big Pharma". DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THESE COMPANIES JUST PASS THE COSTS ALONG TO YOU, THE CONSUMER?!

Wake up, dude!
