I know it costs a lot to bring a new drug to market, no question, but damnit all to hell, why must we eat all the advertising expenses? That's where it's getting expensive.
Personally, any healthcare fix should have included banning ads of prescription drugs on TV... besides,.
The ads don't cost near as much as the lawsuits but I'd like to see them go away too.
And the "I need a new Ferrari" mentality of the lawyers affects doctor & hospital costs just as much. Ban the lawyer ads too.
I looked at a prescription cost once- Here, $300, Canada, $150, Elsewhere, $100 for the same damn drug.
Saw an ad on tv the other day. It listed 20 pills including Tylanol. Call us if you take any of these, you may be entitled to a large cash settlement. F__kin' Lawyers.
