Obama Administration Set to Ban Asthma Inhalers Over Environmental Concerns | The Weekly Standard

You now have to switch to prescription only and it costs more.

Right because those a-holes with asthma are destroying the ozone with their stupid dyspepsia.



I don't just blame obama for this, it's more insanity by bureaucrats, some of which were appointed under bush.

As with everything else, government IS the problem.

And the companies who make the more expensive inhalers start seeing dollar signs...

This kind of insanity has been going on for awhile. Remember when algore and the EPA made the space shuttle start using an environmentally friendly adhesive on the tiles? They started falling off every time it launched.

The Obama administration is intentionally making it more difficult for people to get adequate healthcare. Several changes to HSAs have made it more expensive for people to take care of their basic health needs.

The goal of all of these changes is to make Obamacare look better than what we have now. Since it's not better, and they can't possibly make Obamacare better, they have to make the current system worse.

It's not for consumer protection. It's entirely for political gain, and the people involved should be charged criminally.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." - The Declaration of Independence

Public welfare is the alibi of all tyrants. "For our good" is code for tyranny!

How bad will things need to be/get to make Obamacare look good?

 

[ghunter]

I'm from the government, and I'm here to help. No purple needed.

 

[printcraft]

They are using pseudoscience as fact to generate policy.
Same stuff they are doing with global "climate" change.
(Since they can't claim global warming or global cooling)

It's a deceptive means to a socialist end.

Doctors in private practice will be buried under new requirements
to be in practice since they are not in government run clinics.
It will make them so crazy they won't want to practice.
They will try to drive out all competition. The only place you will be
able to get care will be from the government.

You squeeze them just like you squeeze the working class with taxes.

What do you think that increased taxes for people making over $250,000 a year is about? Control.

S corps are "people". Small businesses are who they are talking about (me).
My S corp generates gross over that amount. - I certainly don't take that
home after paying my employees, taxes, supplies, overhead, etc, etc.
I already get hammered in taxes and the a holes want to add more to give
to the non achievers among us.

Yep. The blame for this can't even be laid at Obama's feet. The move was originally announced back when Bush was in office. It's just being announced again, since it's closer to the end game. The bureaucracy is the problem, it's the machine that's running things.

Sorry guys, since Bush started it i guess theres nothing Obama can do to stop it right? I like the bumper stickers, "Obama, Bushes 3rd term."

He could, but there's no reason for him to go up against the machine in this case. It's a win win for him, just like it was for Bush. Astra-Zeneca makes a few million more, as do the doctors and pharmacies and they all make political donations to him. Just like they did for Bush.

As a practicing pharmacist in a retail setting, I see this beaurocratic crap every day. Everyone is complicit and everyone is out for themselves. I can only follow my faith and my principles as much as possible while fighting the machinations of an entitlement minded society that expects others to fund a lifestyle of freebies, free of responsibility. Every day I see more and more people addicted both literally and figuratively. When it all comes crashing down, the acute withdrawal from opiates, psychotropics, and government subsidies will cause massive social upheaval as people quickly become unhinged.

 

[hornadylnl]

So are those wit asthma now going to quit using tgeir inhalers as much and reduce the amount going into the ozone?

 

[Carmelbythecorn]

The do-gooders strike again, and product choices are reduced. I wonder if prescription drug company lobbyists were involved?

^ This.... all of it ^

Maybe they could just stop breathing to reduce their carbon footprint.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Medicare recipients have been notified that their insulin will no longer be covered under Medicare.
My SIL will have to shell out several hundred dollars a month more from her retirement to buy the life sustaining medication.
This is nothing more that an attempt to "sell" Obamacare to the Public by making it "The only game in town."
You apologists for that Socialist loon Obama had better get your heads on straight or else you'll end up living the nightmare of Socialism that's destroying most of Europe at this very moment!!

I have seen several extremely insightful comments in this thread. Please sound off who works/has worked in or with the healthcare field. Sounds like I'm not the only one who's at his wit's end with politicians and lobbyists ruining what were once noble professions. Or sick of seeing what we do destroyed and propagandized to fit the agenda of the globosocialists and statists.
