But it added enormously to the development cost of new drugs, thereby substantially adding to their price, and delaying their benefits being available to patients--sometimes for many years. It has also, with cruel indifference, prevented access to experimental drugs by terminally ill patients who are near death and willing to take some risk to stay alive. With all this control and lengthy review, we clearly still have drug safety problems, and it is time to explore options other than adding to the size and power of the FDA. f72fde642bd11a4fccc2a37ab316fa82 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/science/drugs/4275-prescription-drug-advertising-is-good-for-all-of-us.html Drugs Sat, 25 Jun 2005 05:00:00 +0000 Critics of the pharmaceutical industry demonstrate willful ignorance of the basic principles of economics and marketing. be381f7eb833e0249c3238a5d5404362 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/science/drugs/4207-finding-alternatives-to-the-food-and-drug-administration.html Drugs Tue, 19 Apr 2005 05:00:00 +0000 Freedom is a more thorough and relentless defender of safety than layers of bureaucracy. Expanding freedom can benefit our health far more than concentrating power. a09296c24ed96f7cc2e0e1172350ebc9 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/science/drugs/3838-drug-war-crimes-the-consequences-of-prohibition.html Drugs Thu, 19 Aug 2004 05:00:00 +0000 Jeffrey A. Miron, Professor of Economics at Boston University contends that the war on drugs has been more effective in fostering corruption among public officials than in reducing drug consumption. bf1ed45c89c426f7569f67a90801300d http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/science/drugs/3570-get-ready-for-the-vitamin-police.html Drugs Sat, 20 Mar 2004 06:00:00 +0000 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is now seeking to expand its considerable powers into the regulation of vitamins and nutritional supplements. 6caa174cd1b0ea10eef5b37942bdf5e3 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/science/drugs/3435-criminalization-doesn-t-curb-drug-use.html Drugs Fri, 06 Feb 2004 06:00:00 +0000 Despite harsher sentences, increased funding for law enforcement, more prisons, expensive public relations campaigns and frightening trespasses on our civil liberties, Americans still generally use illicit drugs with the same frequency they have since the drug war began, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. d3b7fe9d84016f307e2f1a1abfa7d02d http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/science/drugs/3281-downey-supporters-only-half-right.html Drugs Fri, 27 Apr 2001 05:00:00 +0000 The drug charges against actor Robert Downey Jr. should lead neither to imprisonment nor to mandatory rehabilitation. 1d439c6e210e7a1810f0e41f33347f1d http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/science/drugs/3235-a-plea-to-grandparents-just-say-no-to-prescription-drug-subsidies.html Drugs Tue, 28 Oct 2003 06:00:00 +0000 Choice is the cure for America's rising drug costs. Being responsible for one's own health care is still a choice. Increased free choice of doctors and hospitals, not increased government intervention, is the proper tool for bringing down health care expenditures. 05da1965e6c77a58fb4e3db1ea9a11c4
