UCGal
ParticipantI have issues with government funded scientific studies that REWARD private drug companies.
Case in point: The NIH funded the study of natural progesterone to prevent pre-term labor. During the study the drug was produced at about $10/dose. It was proven to be highly effective.
The NIH funded the development and testing.
Based on the results of the taxpayer funded studies – the FDA approved this treatment.
And awarded the exclusive use to K-V Pharmaceutical – who is now charging $1500 dollars per dose for the drug that is inexpensive to produce.
Tax money funded the studies. Private corp profits from the studies.
I’m for tax payer funded studies. But NOT privatizing the profits from those studies.

I can’t understand why some of you are worrying about something at the time when folks at ground zero in japan are suffering massively… I mean, if at all it just proves the only one you think about is yourself.me me me me me me me. Oh my, what’s going to happen to me when the dust blows westward across the pacific and ends up on the west coast. Never mind there’s Hawaii in between, or there’s the rest of the world that’s up do do… Me me me me me….
[/quote]I have to agree with this.
The folks who’s homes were destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami – who are in shelters near the TEPCO facility have something to bitch about… We don’t, here in comfy California.I’ve heard (ironically, on NPR) that they are having issues getting food into the people of the region because the roads are shut down… because of the power plant. In other words – folks are in shelters, having lost EVERYTHING, and there’s not enough food for them.
The entire world is focused on the nuclear plant – and we’ve pretty much forgotten, in very short order, that 10’s of thousands either died or lost their homes. It makes Katrina look mild.
We need to get over ourselves.

But many of them have moved out to Oregon, Washington or Colorado or Temecula already. Or they married non native Californians, or “foreigners”.

Participantthe hubster did this 6 months ago. Had the outpatient surgery… was back on his feet almost instantly. He is fine now.
I had a similar surgery for both ligiment and meniscus in college… I had a cast on because of the ligiment damage. But that was a long time ago – so the technology may be cast free, now.
