The FDA will make an 11am (EDT) announcement that it will begin denying Avastin to breast cancer patients but will graciously offer the creator of the drug a final show trial of a hearing in 60 days. The FDA will be judge, jury and executioner. Unfortunately, the victims of breast cancer will be the ones punished and harmed. The FDA has never before limited access to a drug based upon cost considerations. Yet there are some within the agency that are intent on breaking new ground to justify a rationing regime designed to drive down the cost of health care. Avastin is the test case. In essence, the Avastin decision is the first battle in ObamaCare. [/QUOTE]
