Hope there is a drug you can't afford to survive, then we'll see how fast you change your tune.

I see liberals are quite nasty.

I wouldn't worry about it. Given that trolls are resistant to something as powerful as logic, it's unlikely any sort of infection could penetrate their thick skulls.

Well the FDA has allowed generic progesterone to continue to be prescribed, so chalk one up for them.

Pregnant women will still be able to get a drastically cheaper version of a new expensive drug that prevents premature birth, federal health officials said Wednesday.

Since the drug was approved, it's been unclear whether women would have to pay $1,500 per dose for the licensed version or could continue to have it made by specialty pharmacies for $10 to $20.

The price increase caused an outcry, and the Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday took the unusual step of declaring that pharmacies can still make the cheap version of the once-a-week shot on an individual basis, as they have for years. The agency said it wouldn't step in unless there was a problem with the safety of the specially made version.

I wonder what KV got in return from the FDA for not enforcing their exclusivity rights.
