Inflammatory is lieing. And there is no need for a careful analysis here. The muck rating of the Pharmaceutical companies is as evident as the Grand Canyon. People spend too much time figuring out how to lie politely than doing what's right and honest. Claiming that the source of the double digit yearly rises in Prescription Drugs is due to the FDA is lieing. And this is prior to mentioning the payoffs to MD's to encourage writing scripts for new drugs, the abuse of samples, the price fixing with PDA's, the free trips to for MD's, Nurses and Pharmacists for "medical education", the pay off of key medical staff with paid speaking engagements, and on and on. If you object to someone being called on for propagating lies then don't lie. And certainly don't repeat someone else's lies. You know what? Lets have the market decide. We'll remove federal, state and local government support for ALL healthcare, and eliminate third party providers, and see just how much someone willing to spend for Ambien. If the bankruptcy of GM directly due to healthcare costs doesn't make the threat of out of control costs in medicine clear enough, then the problem resides with the lier's, not the victims.
