Comments on: Flores Receives Kiss Of Death Endorsement http://www.theamericanwrites.com/2010/03/flores-receives-kiss-of-death-endorsement/ Sat, 19 May 2012 17:45:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Kristofer Cowles http://www.theamericanwrites.com/2010/03/flores-receives-kiss-of-death-endorsement/comment-page-1/#comment-388 Kristofer Cowles Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:33:18 +0000 http://www.theamericanwrites.com/?p=947#comment-388 Hi, Vickie, Thanks for dropping by. As someone who has had diabetes for 27 years, I understand your perspective. The web is pretty complicated in unweaving what affects what in these situations, and I would defer to Government still staying out of the way and not forcing a redirection or taking of monies from one group of people to give to another. And I would advocate less regulation from the government on the drug manufacturing market. Frankly, nothing creates a need for quality or opens a market as much as when one or two people die because of a drug company being lacks with its quality control. When barriers to production such as regulation are removed, then the cream rises to the top. Once the big diseases are managed and/or cured, drug companies will look for other markets from which to make their profits and employ people, and the pediatric cancer medicine industry would flourish. Unfortunately, I don't think that opportunity will ever present itself. We know government intervention into the free market system doesn't work, but nobody in the government is willing to take government out of the equation to see if the other theories work - even when there has been practical and real results in limited areas. Thanks again! Kristofer Hi, Vickie,

I also clicked on About the American Writer. I would like to comment in response to your statement that "the free-market and capitalism work for anything you want to do." Actually, this statement may not apply in all cases. For instance, drug development for pediatric cancer does not seem to work when driven by market forces because the population of children with cancer is too small for the profit incentive for drug companies to invest in. Children's cancer is not typically the same as cancers in adults and in many (perhaps most) cases does not benefit from the trickle down of investments in adult drug development.
