Healthcare Ethics

If 2008 prescription drug premiums


 rose an average of almost 25%


did insurers enter the Medicare Part D market in 2006


with low prices to entice retirees only to raise prices later


after seniors became acclimated with programs?


 


Why would FDA panelists/drug maker consultants


vote to keep painkillers on the market after evidence


of increased risks of heart attack and strokes emerged?


 


If healthcare sales representatives


know which and what quantity of what doctors prescribe


can medical manufacturers hold doctors accountable


by giving or taking away research grants and other freebies?


 


If the healthcare industry makes more


if insurance payments are deductible


is it already publicly subsidized?
