It took us decades to find drugs that have worked as well as yours do and they still aren't perfect. It would be madness to go backwards in time and have to suffer all of those bad effects again. The article could improve by identifying more clearly who is making the proposal and how folks could react against it. It is an important point you are making that can get drowned out by the seeming common sense of the proposal. There is an error in the logic of the proposal that is actually quite fundamental. .<br /><br />If we propose to improve health to cost ratios, we can't sacrifice health. We are supposed to be improving the health obtained from the cost. By resorting to drugs that lessen health, we increase other types of health expenses like missing time from work or needing emergency treatment or risking costly permanent injury.<br /><br />Any drug company will explain their major expense is the development of the drug through experimentation. Experimenting with drugs is costly for companies or individuals. Once the experimentation is over, then production can begin and the costs go way down and the profits go way up. Having the citizenry and medial industry enter into new rounds of experiments with drugs will be inherently costly. A couple of visits to the emergency room will wipe out whatever monthly savings were achieved with a cheaper but less effective drug. The overall effect to the economy will be to risk large increases in health care. Besides the human misery, it will likely cost more than using drugs that have already passed through the experimental phase (in this case the experiment is between the doctor and patient as they find affective drugs). The plain truth is experimentation at any level is more costly than production and consumption.<br /><br />Good work. I am always proud of you and your voice.<br /><br />Paula Apodacahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073660379696929072noreply@blogger.com
