Last year a company came in and got an exclusive on it... There is something seriously flawed about some things in our healthcare system.
That doesn't sound like a healthcare problem. That sounds like an IP problem.
Whatever it was that let the new manufacturer take the compound out of the public domain is where you should be directing your ire. Sounds like another indictment of patent law.

- mrkurt 16y agoStringent FDA requirements that require extremely expensive testing are basically a health care problem. The fact that we have to give people monopolies so they can afford to do what the FDA wants is an unfortunate symptom of the problem.
