I guess some people just live to climb, no outside interests at all, sigh.

Kathy's is still open.
LEB: only if they promised to belay me on my project afterwards. Gotta keep the priorities straight.

'Well, I suppose, you might have a point. I never considered that aspect before. I suppose it does add to the cost but it is pretty hard to suppress free speech, no? How do you tell them that they can't speak about their product? It is a pretty sticky issue, there. "
Lois, for years both Canada and the US didn't allow ads for prescription drugs. The two countries drug cost were rising parallel on the graph until the US OKed ads. Then our costs began to climb much steeper.
Script drug ads used to be Illegal. Ads are already restricted for tobacco. If a patient isn't allowed to buy it themselves, they don't need ads for it.
Their patents give them monopolies on this stuff. They have responsibility to hold the costs down because sometimes their crazy expensive drugs are the only treatment. Ads just jack up the cost when the patient has no business deciding whether they need the drug or not anyway.

Intereste but not that interested Lois. I'm on the road for the next 4 months and won't be "spending" as much time typing here as I have.
Peace
