Wow
mr grape yet again is showcasing his utter ignorance & stupidity, this time on an epic level.
Uh no, the feds are not "withholding cancer drugs that could help children", genius.
The feds & the president are
making sure these drugs are available. You see, drug companies are not inclined to produce generic drugs because generic drugs are not very profitable.This is your "free maket' at work here. Next time before you prove how stupid you are please do some research.
FDA to ease critical cancer drug shortage with help from new suppliers By CBS News
(CBS/AP) The federal government is stepping in to help ease the shortage of two life-saving cancer drugs, Doxil and methotrexate, regulators announced Tuesday.
The FDA said it will temporarily allow importation of a replacement drug for Doxil, a drug for ovarian and other cancers that hasn't been available for new patients for months...
...Now the FDA has stepped in. The FDA increasingly has been able to prevent drug shortages by getting advance notice from manufacturers, with 195 shortages prevented in 2011, mostly late in the year
after President Obama issued an executive order giving FDA additional powers to address the shortages. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162- ... suppliers/
