Congress passed a law protecting generic drug makers. They can’t 
be sued–so a patient who has a terrible reaction to a drug can sue Wyeth and get $8 million, but if he took generic version and suffered the same or worse fate, can’t get anything. Since it’s an election year, no one will speak out.
How is this different from doctors receiving a pittance on managed care and having to practice within their cost-cutting guidelines even when against the standard of care? Doctors are held to the highest level of accountability, why not generic drug makers? What do you think? Is this right? Do you agree/disagree?

If knowledge is power, then reputable sources have the ultimate power! Next time you are reading to educate yourself for self-treatment, consider the source. Marketing materials, advertisements, and random on-line forums often provide partial information or even misinformation. Beware of the dangers that lurk! While a head strap to stop snoring might prevent oral breathing, it may also lead to an irregular heart rhythm (and possibly even death during sleep) if the oxygen inflow is restricted due to nasal obstruction.
