Its so sad to see a great company so important to our American economy cutting jobs. The whole reason they are being forced to make such deep cuts is drug lawsuits against them. This is yet another example of why we need blanket immunity for companies like this. To learn more about how to join the fight against the liberal trial bar, call your representative at the United States Chamber of Commerce. They are the tip of the sword in the fight against liberal trial lawyers out to wreck our economy.

I hope everyone know who’s fault this is? It is those darn liberal trail lawyers ruining this great company!!!

No New drugs= No New profits
No Lawyer can change that

US Attorneys are wealth DRAINERS not producers.
No Lawyer can change that either.

Tort, the trial lawyers in this country serve two purposes. The first is to ensure justice lives in the lives of our citizenry. The second is that in our market economy the conservatives like to beat their chest about, trial lawyers serve as market forces. The quality of supply and demand in our economy is very high because of their work.

Tort Reform: why don’t you ask the editors of the Health Blog to simply emblazon this as a banner at the top of every webpage (in very small typeface however) to represent your views, so you don’t have to keep repeated it in every post?

It use to be that a mother of a sick child would be willing to take the risk of an experimental drug to save her child’s life. The risk was worth it more often then not. But now we are a victim mentality society that wants complete protection from all risks. The ambulance chasers are on stand-bye to gain from our nanny state mentality. They do not protect our liberty, they are detrimental to liberty.

Damages paid should not be more than what is need to take care of the person and their responsibilities- no reason to give out millions to those who would not have made millions.
On the other hand people who are in position of responsibility should have some skin the game. It is really was malpractice the doc should be in jail, if pharma did not do adequate research or hid the data then the execs need to take the hit.

True, the real question is why is nothing ever done about irrational settlements when their is little debate about the damage they cause? Is it wrong to believe the lawyers guide the Government into protecting large payouts at everyone elses expense? I don’t want to protect any immoral executives, only the industry and fair play.
