Ann is doing great work (3.00 / 1)

Ann came to speak to the Capital Area Democratic Women at our last meeting, and it was a very engaging conversation.

The work she is doing to help small businesses and their employees get health care is innovative and much needed. I encourage everyone to come by the TCDP HQ tonight to learn more!

advertising for prescription drugs (3.00 / 1)

I enjoyed the presentation by Ann Kitchen tonight. She understands the healthcare issues very well. I was particularly interested in controlling the cost of healthcare. I believe one plank in our Democratic platform should be to ban or limit advertising for prescription drugs in the print media, TV, electronic media, bill boards, etc. Ultimately the consumers of healthcare pay the price for these ads (That's us!). The ads entice citizens to use more drugs than necessary, and encourage doctors to push drugs on us that may turn out to be dangerous. The national cost of advertising prescription drugs is staggering. Let's ban these ads and save a lot of money and a lot of frustrations for the consumers.

Hey, that was my idea (0.00 / 0)

I spoke at the issues meeting about the new political action book club at the Wells Branch Community Library. On August 2 at 11:00 a.m., the first book we are discussing is OUR DAILY MEDS: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs by Melody Petersen. All are welcome. Please reply to politicsisit@yahoo.com
