Is something like Wyeth ghostwriting research reports to boost hormone therapy not only an argument for the “public option” on national healthcare, but, for a variety of other issues, namely:
• Big Pharma advertising being regulated like Big Tobacco or Big Alcohol advertising;
• Public financing of Congressional campaigns;
• A “public option” for pharmaceutical coverage, as a separate sidebar;
• Getting rid of Team Obama’s deals with Big Pharma, including blocking reimportation from Canada.
Just about as despicable is DesignWrite, the Princeton-based “medical communications company” (in NYTimes-ese) that did at least 20 such reports. And the doctors who assisted with this.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
