And their Lobbyist are so powerful(the strongest corporate lobby in D.C), and have so many politicians in their back pocket such that the desperate reforms necessary to stop such wrong-doing never happen. The Pharmaceuticals be a case where GREED is more and more replacing good science for just "let's rip the public off for every buck we can squeeze out of them". This is another matter that will have a major backlash someday. Max

Drug companies are not the problem, nor the place to find solutions. You can still buy Asprin at a buck a pill, ground up in powder form, at your local florist. AFAIK, there is no rule prevent the doc from using steroids on his patients, nor any preventing the patients asking for steroids, since the old line steroids are already FDA approved drugs. I always take FDA approval for specific use with a large grain of salt; in some ways, it is a purchased product endorsement from the local mafia if you catch my drift. Knowledge is power. That being said, I'm always reluctant to invest money in drug companies, because people have that funny idea that medicine should be a non-profit business.
