Single sourced ANYTHING is a bad idea. You pay too much if there's no
competition. Are there no other makers of the vaccine ANYWHERE?

Hillary drove them out of business. Though she failed to pass HillaryCare,
she did manage to get a bill through that made the US Gov't the primary
consumer of vaccines; she didn't get any more children vaccinated, but
she did manage to drive the price of vaccines down so far that all but
two US manufacturers quit trying to make them.


In1996 Law was passed to protect vaccine manufacturers. I'l told
but can't give a citation that a stronger bill is sitting on Bush's desk
right now and he refuses to sign it.

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program created a
no-fault compensation program for those injured by childhood
vaccines. By providing a standardized method to compensate
injured persons, the Act attempts to balance vaccine safety
and availability. It is funded by an excise tax on vaccines.

All the anti-lawyer verbaiage comming from Bush is just a bone to
Frist (R Tenn) since his family owns HCA, one of the biggest hospital
chain owners in the country. HCA has paid the Feds something like
600Million bucks to pay back for medicare fraud and damages.

The GAO reports that medical lawsuits are about 1% on national health
costs, and Kerry has proposals to cut that in half without limiting
people that have reallly been harmed to get recourse.


Kerry for President No more bushes
More Education Less Invasion
Kerry Shoots Back.... Where was George ?

Cheney says if we elect Kerry we will be attacked again;
Well, We were attacked when Bush was President,
Why give him a second chance ?
