as outrageous as this may sound i wonder if this is a government/pharacutical compay effort to simply make money, the xcrrent adminstration loves working with with companies as they will not allow medicare D medication prices to be negotiate for lower prices, i am on medicare D and have been told the compies providing me are now asking that i pay more out of pocke for the meds i need, which defeats the puprose of Meidcare D.
I frimyl believe the MANDITORY idea is simply a play with the companies and our goverment allowing BIG BUSINES dictate what "MUST" be taken i agree with just_annie, who is to determine philosopgical believes of a family,this is a private family matter, what they believe in and do not believe it let families decide this not the governemnt or pharacutiacl companies and testing in just 6 years. most medication they test and talk about in the news they say if approved it could be 10 years before all tests are complete and the FDA makes a decsuon, why only 6 on this??
I remember recently about a year ago they were talking about a pndemic or bird flu, th gornment rushed to make sure all medication was needed, suddely this "scare" dissapeared, i have not heard anything recently about a pademic ofthe bird flu either.
Cancer has touched me a well, i lost my bestfriend to cancer 1 years ago on March 2, but the docotors also told me nothing could have saved them as there are so many caners around and no i do not believe tking the edication or not taking it will lead to promiscuity, either couples wll sleep together or they will not, the medication will not have any effect on anyones sexual behavior, the AIDS threat never did, yes epole are a bit more cautious but nodoby i know of has given up sex in fear of contrating AIDS
