Current incentives for research produce a few that substantially improve
patients' chances of getting better or avoiding death but a large number of
barely innovative drugs each year. These new drugs of little benefit
consume about four-fifths of all drug costs.
The incentives and institutional practices around testing and regulatory
review predictably result in approvals being based on trials so biased and
poorly run that no one knows how much better or worse new drugs are.
##
When the incentive to invent new drugs comes from Patents expiring, the
FDA doesn't have the budget to do it's own testing and must rely on
salesmen to do it and 3 fifths of costs are in self defence of lawsuits
from 1/1000th of the users that had a bad experience and no two people are
the sameit's all little wonder that the situation is what it is,
insisting on absolutes when NONE exist.
How much does it cost to pay for the impossible ?
Ebay has seller/product/service/buyer feedback ratings...very few are 100%,
but they ARE useful to make a risk to success assessment of your own.
No one can sell what you won't buy...period.
One website to collect user data and calculate risks from experience and
we all could make an informed independent decision.
Doctors would have the incentive to mention an array of possibilities to
be considered if YOU are the ones making the choices...or he/she never sees
you again.
If WE took the responsibility for those decisions, costs would go down
dramatically.
You don't have to defend yourself from a sale you didn't make and the buyer
judiciously chose.
They keep making new drugs because we keep wanting miracles...and we are
quite willing to make someone else pay for them and take the heat when they
are what they really are.
THEY don't pay when you sue them..WE ALL do. [They don't pay taxes
either, they pass the cost to the consumer and cannot do otherwise.]
You can't con an honest man
If WE are not being honest and realistic, why should they be?
Blame puts the power right into the hands of those that YOU say, cares
the least.
What happened to OUR incentives ?
We have a LOT of power we are scared to use...far more than they do.
They can only hope that you listen and believe.positive or
negativeNO ONE can shut us up.
Whoreshippers:
Screw the priestsfind God your own damned self.
Ask your neighbor if they saw Him go by...track Him down.
