I love how the government is already pushing "new recommendations," saying that women can push back mamograms and pap smears a few years.
For years, the mantra was "early detection." Now, as OBAMAcare is almost upon us, suddenly the mantra is "early detection, but wait a few more years, because the government is paying for it."
Also, my understanding is that the FDA is going to step up its use of "patent exclusivity" for a term of 12 years. Now, mind you - this isn't patent protection, which prohibits someone from copying your product for a period of time. This patent exclusivity would prohibit SIMILAR drugs from entering the market.
Think about it - Company A produces a certain type of drug that helps treat cancer, for example. Company B, for 12 years, can't develop a drug that similarly treats the cancer, but perhaps with less side effects.
This is the antithesis of the free market and exactly what opponents of government-run health care have been worried about: the rationing of care and lack of choices.
Defeat this legislation.
