No Wonder People Hate Big Pharma

Eli Lilly is shilling for Medicare Part D, the better to receive government dollars in the form of medicare reimbursements. Their scare campaign is shameless hucksterism and favor-currying with a corrupt Democrat White House and members of Congress. This is the evil of too much government; your tax dollars go to government programs that fuel profits that get recycled into expanding these same programs to take more of your tax dollars. Boycott Eli Lilly. They can have their freedom of speech, I can avoid their products.

  1. More than anything it's yet another reason we need to get the big money out of politics. Unfortunately no one is discussing this other than Buddy Romer.

  2. Kelly, I disagree. We should get the government out of big money. Also, there's no way that any kind of regulation would prevent that kind of advertising without totally gutting the first amendment. The smaller we make government the less of that we will see.

  3. Big Pharma also cut a backroom deal with Obama on Obamacare to make Americans keep paying far higher drug prices than any other country in the world.

  4. I'm with B-Daddy. Money is just following the loci of purchasing decisions. As more and more power is given to the government, more purchasing decisions are made there. These companies would be stupid not to do this.
