Does anyone realize the massive conspiracy between the drug companies, FDA, and government? Well, if you're like one of the millions who are totally in the dark - I'll fill you in. Here's why I'm angry.
Basically the FDA says that a drug company can produce a generic form of drug after 5 years of it being on the market. Well, what a lot of drug companies do is they change ONE, tiny ingredient in the drug which technically makes it a different drug so that they don't have to produce a generic and then they call the "new" drug "improved" when in actuality the new ingredient probably bares no difference on the effect it has.
But that's only part of it. The real reason why the government doesn't step in and take partial control of the regulation of drugs is because there's no money in CURING anything - there's only money in keeping people alive with a disease. Do you know that there hasn't been a cure to an illness since polio in like, the 1950's? Drug companies make soooooooooooo much money by having people spend $10,000/month on HIV/AIDS medication rather than coming up with a vaccination. Why? Because there's no money to be made by healthy people... or dead people for that matter. So, if you keep sick people living - you'll make tons of money. It's disguisting. The government should step in. But not this one. Maybe 2008.
