Perscription Medication Reform?

If we want real prescription medication reform, just like if we wanted real political reform, I think it's time to slap the drug industry in the face, grab their collective chins, and say "FOCUS on what you're supposed to be doing!" Which is creating medications that help people.

NOT running half a BILLION dollar ad campaigns, or more.

The top 10 drug firms invest $42 billion a year on research, 14 percent of sales -- yet they plow more than twice that much into marketing and administration

Same thing goes to the political parties.

Personally, I think that all medical advertising, and political advertising should be relegated to a couple of their own channels, and those should be public service channels. No buying of ad time for those two vital industries.

It would change the political, and the medical industries, for the better I think.
