The Politics of Medicines

I am sure you have heard about Branded Medicines produced by Big Time Medicine Manufacturers being given preference in bidding’s. I will admit that I don’t know much about the difference between Generic and Brand name Medicines. I know for a fact that they pretty much have the same composition only that they may vary labels and packaging. We all know that Generic Medicines are a whole lot cheaper compared to Brand name Medicines. But do you wonder why some of your medicines have been pulled out the market? Some people might dispute this but believe it or not, there’s still politics regarding this topic. Big Medicine manufacturers coerce politicians to manipulate bidding’s in their favor and this practice has become very common in different states. There are big controversies behind health care and this makes me sick in the stomach. Health care is something that should benefit people no matter what their status is in life. Generic Medicines were conceptualized to make medicines cheaper and more available to masses but this is not happening all because of politics, all because of money. Is this really what our society has become? Money-Greedy individuals who acts with no morals! I wish that people making all this happen rot in hell. Is this what we’re passing to the next generation? Take some action, start at home! Discipline your kids the right way and fear for your souls.
