    Thank you aKnightThatSaysNi for introducing us to this outstanding 3 Day Conference held in Long Island this month. I listened to 3 of the speakers around a week ago and wanted to hear what all of them said on some very important topics...and then, I couldn't find this thread again till now.

    Anyone with school children should take the time to listen to this one.

    All kinds of parties want to keep people off of them drugs. In fact, a number of pharmaceutical companies are trying to keep people off drugs but namely generic ones, as a number of “Big Pharma” companies are using drug coupons to keep people buying brand-name after patents lapsed.

    Though the morality of government intervention into business is debatable, a clear benefit to consumers is when the patents on prescription medications lapse. Drugs that go “off-patent,” as it is called, can then be made by generic drug companies. Generic drugs then hit the market and people taking the drugs save a bundle by buying generic.

    I had no problems playing all of them, maybe something went wrong with the embedding.

    It isn’t easy to drum up a lot of sympathy for Big Pharma. For every breakthrough, there’s a scandal. There are numerous concerted efforts out there to keep individuals off narcotics. That extends to pharmaceuticals also, as some companies want to keep people off generic narcotics. The largest prescription companies, alias “Big Pharma” are issuing narcotic coupons to keep people using brand drugs that have gone off-patent. Time will tell if the notion of dollar store pharmacies can catch on. However, convenience and value together do sound like a winning combo in today’s crawling economy.
