re: new drugs coming out
And probably not drug shortages. If the Pharmas try that, it can be stopped. They are getting very rich off other people's Research. Pharmaceutical R&D is a joke as any insider knows. The take government and university research and build on it. I'd bet half their R&D is spent of PR crap with researchers and other docs. They soak the consumer in this country and we let them get away with it. Lobbying.
These are well-circulated myths, and I've addressed them on other threads.
