Oh, don't get me started! Grrrrrrrr........ I always suspected as much. And what about all the people in other countries that we can't donate our "expired" drugs to, who are sick or die as a result?

The article touches briefly on the policy, but I was taking it a step further thinking about the sick and dying as a result of this horrific marketing strategy.

That's what I as thinking too. I suppose if we did and some child caught a cold in Uzbekistan some lawyer would find a way to sue the US and blame it on 'bad medication'. Shouldn't be hard to find a pharmaceutical corporation lawyer to take the case.

Once again it’s all about “Follow the Money”, as depressing as that may be.
