[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1398618"] The article never stated that the market will "cure all ills". Quite the opposite. Read the last couple paragraphs again."[b]I also know for certain that there would be tragic outcomes as well. Without the protection of the government, some people would be taken advantage of by unscrupulous drug manufacturers and deceptive marketing. Some people would hurt themselves taking the wrong drugs or neglecting various drug interactions. But others would be saved by the wider and earlier availability of life-saving drugs. Would a world without an FDA and prescriptions be a better world? The answer depends on how many lives would be lost from mistakes and how many lives would be saved by the wider and earlier availability of drugs. It would also depend on the value you place on putting responsibility in our own hands rather than having the government take responsibility for us. [/b]" Where was the FDA when Drs were pushing the drugs you mentioned above? I'm reminded of this quote from smart man.... “Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.” [/QUOTE]
