Murang Gamot... mapapamura ka talaga!

Sa Pilipinas iba talaga ang kapangyarihan ng Pera.

Kahit na para sa mahihirap ang isang panukalang batas kung ang babanggain mo naman ay dambuhalang mamumuhunang korporasyon siguradong walang mangyayari.

Kailan ba tayo magkakaroon ng mga Lider na ang kapakanan ng mahihirap ang talagang uunahin at hindi ang kanilang mga bulsa?


MANILA, Philippines -- On top of the "generics only" provision, the House of representatives is also considering giving up the drug price regulatory board contained in its original version of the proposed Cheaper Medicines bill, two administration lawmakers revealed on Thursday.

The board, composed of the Health Secretary, Trade Secretary, and representatives from drug regulatory agencies, consumers, and academe as stated in the House approved measure, was supposed to regulate the prices of medicines in the market.

But in a draft report being prepared by the House panel for the bicameral conference meeting on the bill, the regulatory board provision has been deleted.

The regulatory board was instead replaced by a provision that would give the President, upon the recommendation of the Secretary of the Department of Health, the power to "impose maximum retail price over any or all drugs and medicines."

This was strongly opposed by two principal authors of the measure, Iloilo Representatives Ferjenel Biron and Janette Garin, saying that the removal of the drug regulatory board provision will defeat the intention of the bill to provide cheaper medicines for the poor.

gaano ka totoo na yung mga murang counterpart na gamot ay di ganun kapareho ang effect nito sa mga sakit? pangit naman, nakamura ka nga, parang same lang yata din siguro pagnagkataon..
