We are suppose to be getting out of this poor economy but some people are taking advantage of it. We NEED health care insurance just in case something happens to us but they keep trying to have us add things that are just going to cost us more money. we need to find a way to get out of this economy first and then deal with the health care issues Why does it sound like they are just trying to find a sneaky way to raise costs of health costs but make it seem like they aren’t?

I must say there is truth in that statement, all one has to do is ask does Big Pharma outweigh the risk to benefit ratio on every new drug introduced especially with the way everyone knows the way studies are funded. Just ask all the people involved in the clinical studies with Vioxx- if any are still alive. Not to imply they knew (big pharma) but maybe all pharmaceutical companies have a stuttering pproblem when it comes to communicating to the public, I don't know DTCA works pretty well I see. Maybe they can invent something for this speech dissorder since there is no known cure. Respectfully,Paul Parks RN Parks Medical-Legal Consulting "integrating medicine and law" 38510 orangecrest rd.
