The Death Panel's First Murder

The Progressive-Totalitarians can't handle the truth.

But that isn't going to deter either Willow or me from speaking up.

What is the truth?

That the FDA removed the indication for Avastin for breast cancer because of the cost?

I've heard people mention that on here, but I have not seen any PROOF for that accusation.

it's ineffective and expensive. so it gets cut.

like joe shmoe who is a lazy worker but somehow got paid like an essential expert (meaning a shitload of fucking dollars).

laying off joe shmoe is cost-effective and the right thing to do.

joe can go to work on eyes. for cheap, and effective.

others can work the breast.
 
Last week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revoked its regulatory approval of the drug Avastin to treat late stage, metastatic breast cancer. Each year, the practicing oncologists chosen by 17,500 American women to save them from their life-threatening, heavily progressed cancer prescribe Avastin to treat them.

The FDA explained that it was revoking approval of the drug for that use because it decided that the drug does not provide "a sufficient benefit in slowing disease progression to outweigh the significant risk to patients." Risk? The drug is prescribed for women who are otherwise going to die from cancer unless the drug saves them at least for a time. The far greater risk to these women is from the FDA, not the drug.

As The Wall Street Journal said last Friday in response to the FDA's explanation:

Ponder that [word] "sufficient." The agency is substituting its own judgment about clinical meaningfulness for those of practicing oncologists and terminally ill cancer patients.

way to go dems. some snatching victory,, reach around and give yourselves a good pat on the back.

We've already covered this in depth.

You have proven yourself unqualified to discuss this topic as you have clearly been lead down the path of fear by a biased opinion blog that does not base their writing on facts.

So! State the facts man. State em.
 
I'm curious, how many folks here are willing to go on record suggesting that when it comes to public health insurance programs, cost should never be an issue? Or private insurance plans, for that matter? An unorthodox brand of fiscal conservatism, to be sure.

Granted, that's not the factor the FDA was considering here but one would think Medicare and Medicaid ought to consider that factor in making coverage decisions.

I already did, and so did he in another thread. The drug did not do what they said it would do, it has life threatening side effects with little results.
Here is one of the quotes from what I already posted.
Cancer specialists said this week that Avastin never lived up to its initial promise

Read the article I posted, nutbar.
Why spend so much money on a drug, that doesn't work?
If I had breast cancer I would want to use a treatment that would work, and not kill me. But I guess that is just me.

That FDA judgment was determined last summer by an internal agency panel of 13 experts, only two of whom were breast cancer oncologists, and none of whom were breast cancer patients.





Was this the same bunch of dunderheads who decided that women didn't need yearly mammograms? Yes, I trust these mother fuckers implicityly.

I can only tell you what I know. Let's hear from the Doctors who prescribe the stuff. Let's see the FDA's data on it's position. I'm looking for it. obie wan cares for the poor, he takes one jet and his wifey gets her own jet, fuck those carbon footprints. Do I sound as if I don't trust what demonRats say? Why yes, I guess I do
