Drug Companies v. Pols Issues

Drug Companies v. Pols Issues

Politics enough to make drug companies sick

Daring innovation is most likely in a competitive, profit-driven market. Today's medicines exist only because there is a bevy of sophisticated pharmaceutical companies devoted to finding drugs to heal the sick.

Isn't this serving consumers well?

But prices are too high, claim myopic, vote-seeking politicians like Sen. Jim Jeffords, I-Vt. Heck, they only save lives. Extend our life spans. Moderate our pain. Control our nausea. Eliminate our need for surgery. Treat our allergies.

Why should we have to pay for such products? The outrage!
