<I'm kind of drunk right now, WHICH IS WHEN I'M MOST LUCID> No actually it's when you THINK you're most lucid. <.if you didn't wake up the next morning embarrassed about something you did then you really didn't have a good time.> Sounds like an immature "pre-med" type of credo... You appear to me to be too young to be qualified to comment on the state of the U.S. medical policy in an effective manner. DAK

Herc, my new hero. >>>>>>>>>>LOOK OUT BELOW! I had a patient yesterday who spends $500/month on drugs.<<<<<<<<<<< I spent $500 on a pair of glasses! WHY CAN'T US DRUG MAKERS HAVE SOME OF YOUR MONEY? WHAT'S THE MATTER, DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP YOU'RE MERCEDES? IT'S OK. JUST KEEP INVESTING, WE NEED YOU! Perhaps there is a future for you in daytrading biotech stocks. Have a few beers & $8 Viagra pills for me. Next time your drunk and you feel like communicating with others, CALL HILLARY and tell her your health care plans, I'm sure she'd love to hear them. V

< The stuff SEPR sells is rejiggered old stuff. The money is in whole new classes of drugs. SEPR does not sell them. > Rejiggered old stuff has one thing no new class of drugs can have... A predictable SAFETY history and therefore possible prescription from the very youngest to very oldest patients. These rejiggered old SAFE drugs are often made significantly SAFER by Sepracors' Innovations. This in turn increases the chance of being allowed to go Over-The-Counter. Any new drug runs a significant risk of some deadly side-effect being discovered such as Viagra and Rezulin. The place where new drugs are desperately needed are in fighting Infectives, especially drug resistant strains such as TB or fast mutators such as HIV. So far, SEPR has found 2 New anti-infectives. < Look out below. You SEPR lovers are living a pipe dream. Bill Clinton wants Medicare to pay for drugs. > Americans are perfectly willing to pay over $500 a month for their cars yet will not spend that much to avoid getting sick ? How much is a health club membership per month ? or a Chiropractic Adjustment ? or a Therapeutic massage ? The actions being taken by Medicare and Managed Care is giving birth to the Medicinal Free Market. Do I think its worth paying cash to stop myself from wheezing or sneezing or help myself breathe or get out of an unproductive depression. You bet I do ! Hint: In many countries, health care is a CASH business, and Doctors and Pharmacists are among the richest in their communities. I Recognize that this may take many years to develop, but it has started already. Ag.
