US F.A.D.A. just a mouthful for the big drug business

US "Food and Drug Administration" (AFDA) is apparently more committed to protect the "health" of the powerful American pharmaceutical companies than it is to unsure well-being of the Americans, particularly the dis-advantaged and elderly.

For quite some time, many low income Americans who cannot afford the extreme high cost of their prescription drugs in the US, have been ordering and receiving their prescription drugs through internet and from Canadian suppliers who are regulated by the government of Canada. This has been a very effective way for those Americans to "not die" because they don't have the money to afford American prices. This system has been so reliable in addition to affordable for those Americans that many State governments have been encouraged to seek this as an alternative suppliers of affordable, yet high quality drugs. Existence of this system has been also supported by the US consumer protection advocates: for instance by the group associated with Ralph Nader.

Instead of standing up to the powerful American pharmaceutical companies and pressing them for affordable prices, AFDA has intensified its fight against the Canadian suppliers. AFDA is at odd with the Canadian authorities and is pressuring them to stop the Canadian suppliers from supplying drugs to the needy Americans.

I, for one, am not surprised at all to see this shameful agenda of AFDA that is acting just as mouthful for the big drug businesses in the US. Well, why should I be surprised? After all, George Bush is the president and Dick Cheney is the Vice president and under their rule, the priority is the interests of the big business in all aspects, and "drug dealers" are no exception.
