[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 674376, member: 484"] there are risks to everything we do in life. what we have to do is compare the risk to the benefits. if the drug is beneficial to us, and the risk is minimal, then the drug is a good idea. but if the drug has limited benefit, say reduces the zit count on your face, but damages the heart, then no, the benefits do not outweigh the risk. there is no drug that is 100% safe for 100% of the people 100% of the time. the government regs that we have to live by would take a football field of shelves to store. and we add to that library of rules about 5000+ pages a year. many of these regs are written by some faceless nameless do gooder who has no one to provide checks and balances on them. some regs were not a bad idea at first, but they have morphed way out of control in their current form. you want real healthcare reform? get rid of insurance for every day needs. buy it only for hospitalizations, or drug needs if that is what costs you so much. most people spend more per year on healthcare insurance than the actual healthcare costs. then get truth in pricing. no more double standards when it comes to cost. you pay what every body else pays. get the blood thirsty lawyers out of medical care. too many tests and other things are done, not because a patient needs them, but because the doc or hospital is afraid of lawsuits if they dont. california is a good example. between illegals and lawyers, healthcare costs to the state would be 65% or more less than it is now with just those two improvements. and yes, you dont get free medical care if you are an illegal. show up for free care, we will detain you and ship you back. d [/QUOTE]
