Pharmacuticals/free market/rant!

[Paul B.]

Wouldn't it be great? About as likely as pushing gas prices down by using our muscles (walking more?)


Think About This One!!!

A Car Company can move it's factories to Mexico and claim it's a free market.

A Toy Company can out source to a Chinese subcontractor and claim it's a free market.

A Shoe Company can produce its shoes in Southeast Asia and claim it's a free market.

A major Bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and claim it's a free market.

We can buy HP Printers made in Mexico .
We can buy shirts made in Bangladesh .
We can purchase almost anything we want from 20 different countries.

BUT, heaven help the senior citizens who dare to buy their Prescription Drugs from a Canadian or Mexican pharmacy. That's called un-American and illegal and our politicians want to Stop it!

And you think the Pharmaceutical Companies don't have a powerful lobby? Think again!

Forward this to every person you know over age 50. It is an interesting thought. Maybe this is an issue that should come up in the next election!

Paul B.

The selling of America by corporations continues at a face pace, lot of money
made but at what price to this country.

Bush has said he is protecting us from dangerous and deadly drugs from Canada.

The Bush administration has questioned the safety of getting prescriptions filled in Canada. An administration panel studying the matter concluded that there was "a significant and untenable risk to Americans" who send prescriptions north of the border, Duffy said.

Of course, there is no record that anyone has died from Canadian imports but Bush has got our safety and the stablity of the US drug companies in mind, or at least ensuring the US drug companies and their profits.

Although they've been warning Americans about the dangers of prescription drugs from Canada for nearly a year, U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials can't name a single American who's been injured or killed by drugs bought from licensed Canadian pharmacies.

I'm still amazed that this guy got elected twice.
