But, I also agree with your point for terminal patients. There's absolutely no point in restricting access.

And there are A LOT of smaller companies who are closed out by Big Pharma and the FDA because they may ACTUALLY have a cure. Wouldn't this open doors for them??

You can charge people anything you want for medicine that may not even work. Big pharma’s wet dream.

You can also charge people anything you want if you're the only approved game in town. I don't see how you can think this won't create more competition, which could only lower costs.

Thank you! And give small companies a chance.

So you’re excited about a bill big pharma loves so that what will happen exactly?

There’s not going to be even dozens of people saved by this. It’s just a windfall for pharma companies.

What this bill does is improve patient choice. Who cares if "big pharma" benefits (small and medium pharma will benefit, too) if terminal patients are able to try different options that might help them?

LMAO, you do realize the FDA is "the system", right?

In theory you could. In practice, it works out a little differently.

But when you remove third parties, real informed consent and clinical efficacy, it’s a three-ring circus.

“Bob, I understand you have dick cancer and that you have $300k. We would like to take the $300k and do something no one is sure is going to work. Whaddya day, Bob?”

My pussy doesn’t hurt thanks. You just know jackshit about this and are spewing your populist bullshite. Keep it coming.

What populist bullshite? Choice and options?
