My Doctor said she hates those commercials. I went in there one day asking for a prescription to a drug called Lunesta. I saw the commercial and holly cow, there were yellow butterflies and soft music. Reminded me of...well never mind that... But I went into her office asking for this sleeping drug because I was having trouble sleeping and after seeing this commercial thought I had found the answer. She finally gave it to me. I woke up the next morning with what tasted like a penny in my mouth. that darned flavor stayed with me most of the day. The rest went into the garbage.marksiwel wrote:Yeah but then their sales would go down.Oldgringo wrote:Why are pharmaceutical companies allowed to advertise drugs/medicines that can't be bought without a prescription seven million times a day on TV03Lightningrocks wrote:Wow!!! They are all right at the top for me. If I have to chose just one...I have to go with the tax issue. My taxes are ridiculous. My second would be Health care reform that does not include Government take over. Allowing the insurance companies to continue on with the price fixing on health care insurance premiums is not going to work. They should not be allowed to rate my group of 12 at a higher premium rate that a company with 500. If they are going to decide insurance costs based on pay out, which I think they almost have to, the formula should be with all the covered people they are insuring. Splitting it up the way they do, is allowing them to discriminate against small business owners and individuals who don't have group health options.marksiwel wrote:Examples Lower Taxes, Better Tax Plan, Term Limits, Healthcare reform, Tort Reform?
I'm not sure, I tend to be all over the map when it comes to politics. I guess right now my number 1 goal is getting America out of Debt and controlling inflationand in every publication you try to read? Take away the cost of advertising from the cost of the medicines and watch those costs come down.
Doctor I think I need *Magic Pill* because sometimes I feel tired, or get a stuffy nose.
Doctor write a script, patient goes to CVS, Doctor does this enough he gets some Free Stuff from big Pharama
I tell this story as an example of how well those commercials work. Especially when the drug sounds like the answer to a prayer. By the way... I never did see any yellow butterflies or hear any soft soothing music. The stuff was totally bogus.
