In the United States, the drug lords prevail.
So far...
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
26 drug companies fund the “quackbuster” operation. But now, because of the actions of one man, we have the opportunity to pull the financial rug out from under the most evil enemy America has ever faced, the very group that has dedicated itself to the financial ruin, and the illness, and death, of North America’s population – big pharma.
All we have to do is help that one man. He’s half done with the project. It goes like this…
Everybody knows that Americans pay three to seven times as much for the same prescription drug in the United States as Canadians and Europeans do. We don’t even want to discuss Mexico or South American prices for the same prescriptions. The average American simply wouldn’t believe the cost difference. The greed of big pharma is a scandal of monstrous proportion.
Senior citizens in the US have to make choices between medications and food every month. Our brighter children are forced by “the school nurse” to ingest mind-altering dangerous drugs, allegedly to control their behavior. Newborn babies are forcibly injected with a burning chemical concoction that their little bodies are completely unable to deal with. Influence peddlers, hired by the drug lords, grinningly march the halls of our government agencies buttonholing our civil servants to act on their behalf. The quackbusters are funded.
But one man, an American hero, has been pointing out this situation to the US Congress. And, they’re listening. This one guy has found a way to do something about the problem. His name is Bill Faloon, and he’s the head of the Life Extension Foundation. He’s backing the idea that North Americans should be able to buy their prescriptions out of the country for a whole lot less money.
And, so far, Congress says “That’s a good ideas Bill… Let’s do that.” The US House of Representatives, despite massive drug lobbying, has already passed their version of the “Drug Importation Bill.” The article our legislators are reading to help them make their decisions is right here –http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2002/oct2002_awsi_01.html. The bill is heading for the Senate.
And, that’s where WE come in.
