Well stated Ann. I met a dual kidney/pancreas transplant recipient in Seattle and his rejection meds cost $4,000 a month. He is on Medicaid so the taxpayers bear the costs and Bigpharma makes more on him NOW than they did before the transplants for the type 1 related organ failures. If you haven't seen Enron The Movie, go to their web page and click around that briefcase that appears until you get to the microphone that plays audio tapes of the corrupt oil guys. Bigpharma boys make the Enron boys look like the sand box.
Tonight ABC Nightly News played three Bigpharma ads back to back. My Irish friend is appalled at this.
Writing the JDRF chapter leaders to alert them to the denial of funding is a fantastic idea. They may be unaware even of Faustman's research.
