Death Panels

Sarah Palin was mocked and ridiculed for labeling Obamacare with this phrase. Gues what? She was right. Who knew? Here's the latest example.....

Avastin, an advanced treatment for late-stage breast cancer, made it through the FDA approval process back in 2008. But over the summer, an advisory commission at the agency determined that the drug wasn't providing sufficient benefits to patients and recommended that the full FDA board retroactively rescind that stamp of approval. The FDA has until Dec. 17 to make that recommendation official. If it does, the effects on breast cancer patients will be devastating. Some 17,500 American women are prescribed Avastin every year. Many will face shorter, more painful lives because of the FDA's decisions.

The drug is not being banned because of side effects, or inefficiency. It is being banned, retroactivley because it costs to much.

The truth is that Avastin is expensive. A year-long supply for breast cancer treatment costs upwards of $80,000.

Can't have these expensive drugs under Obamacare.

I recall it was barely a week or two ago in our fair burb when the ladies dressed in pink were marching "for the cure" in the Susan Kommen races. Where are they on this?? Walking faster?

Obama lied, people will die. Does anybody care?
