via free health care at taxpayer expense Sheesh tradelite, offering the taxpayers the priviledge of picking up the tab of a protected drug company monopoly where I have to pay $500 for what I could get anywhere else in the world for $30, is hardly a hard luck story on the part of po' folks. If I'm forced to pay 50x the free market price of something, for my own "protection" haha (or, so that the former congress lobbyists are protected), then the govt better have a plan for every middle class taxpayer in the nation. Your other rant is fine, but implying that unwillingness to pay for our screwed up healthcare system is somehow the realm of the lower class, is really too much. Theres a hemopheliac at Cisco whose drug costs to the insurance company are $200K PER YEAR. Yes you heard that right. --->> OH GOLLY isn't this concern on the part of the republican christian right governor of texas so touching. Now EVERY FEMALE in texas will need to be immunized for cervical cancer at a cost of $500 per vaccine. Glad to know these clowns are looking out for "the public". AUSTIN (AP) -- Gov. Rick Perry ordered Friday that schoolgirls in Texas must be vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer, making Texas the first state to require the shots. The girls will have to get Merck & Co.'s new vaccine against strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV, that are responsible for most cases of cervical cancer. Merck is bankrolling efforts to pass laws in state legislatures across the country mandating it Gardasil vaccine for girls as young as 11 or 12. It doubled its lobbying budget in Texas and has funneled money through Women in Government, an advocacy group made up of female state legislators around the country. breitbart.com
