What specific hurdles would you like to see removed so you can try out this drug that is,according to your post, 20% effective?


Let's see...have a drug that is 20% effective, or have no drug therapy at all. Your call, dude.

I already do that, Muse, and will continue to do so. If you are playing from a mindset that having been hired to do things, and having done them successfully, is a negative in Romney's qualifications to be President, I can't help you much.

I'm unsure how much to read into the fact that DS is reduced to peddling such a loser as Xigris.
I'm inclined to think it's just another example of the paucity of evidence available to opponents of healthcare regulation, which in turn is an indicator of how rightwing ideology triumphs over (empirical) fact in this matter

One thing about the "gubment-is -bad" whiner-clowns, is they are usually the 1st and loudest to whine and complain when the government fails to protect folks from un-safe food,drugs and other stuff...

Well, Owner59, when the Government's takes it upon themselves to do so, they had better do so. You can't have it both ways, dude. If you're going to protect us, protect us. Don't be our supposed protector and then, not get bought by those you are supposed to be protecting us from.

Did you watch, Food, Inc.? There was one farmer who farms beef, pork and chicken the way they've evolved to be raised. His chicken processing area is under a shade providing structure, but it's outside. He sent chicken for testing and it came back with nearly 100x less bacteria than did chicken from a USDA-regulated "sanitary" processing plant. Helluva job there, eh?

I find it is usually not a good idea to eat beef, pork, or chicken raw. Cooking tends to kill the bacteria, worms and shit. Then I don't have to waste time complaining about inadequately funded government services. Just sayin.

The processing plants are in place and are filthy fucking sewers. They preceeded the USDA and they were powerful trusts, and built-in lobbies before the USDA got in there.  The USDA keeps it down to a dull roar.    The lobby for the Morrells, Armours, and so on insure that they are kept hamstrung and only enforce the barest minimum standards.
The helluva job comment is on the lobby and payoffs to politicos.

So, what you're saying is that the USDA is impotent. What's the point of having them around, then?

I do not doubt that politicians are paid off. It's interesting that you'll place all the blame on the payer, without putting any blame on the payee. Both have wronged the US Citizen. Both need to be held accountable.
