What ever happened to "right to try" ?? Gotta be about the money, otherwise they are driving every path to big pharma.
I know how it works, because I've see the same tactic used by local governments in the past.
For example - Back in the day there use to be community produce vender's who had a truck for selling produce, and there use to be produce stand's along the road sides in many communities. Then the government decided to promote and invest in a central location that would be a one stop buy all for produce seekers and grower's to participate in. So once the local government got involved, and they became sponsors and tax collector's through fees, it started a campaign to crush all other avenue's of independent sells or consumerism outside of the central location. So it created strict rules, and strict codes to be enforced, and this for anyone outside of the central in which it had to drive everyone towards. It worked because no one could qualify after that, so their corruption was full proof. Nevermind the poor people that once had produce delivered almost to their doorstep, because central must work at all cost. Nevermind the roadside vender who was set up near to the areas for which people had access to without having to drive 20 miles just to get their freshly grown produce. Yep, they just had to go to central now regardless of, because the roadside stand's we're no longer open because of the rules and codes implemented by government.
These same tactics are or can easily be used by government today, otherwise if it wants to have it's way, so think about what you have as your government people's, because corruption might be huge within it.
