Bullseyebarb , Yep the drug companies have special programs for needy patients, but let me tell you a story, I know two people who have serious medical problems requiring multiple drugs , both are no longer able to work and are on disability, through various un-ethical and legal means both have been dropped by their insurance companies , Both applied to the manufacturers of the drugs they were taking asking if any relief was possible , guess what ......four companies came back with great news, they all had new drugs better than the ones they were taking , the only 'hang-up' was the drugs were still unapproved and in still in the testing stage and would they like to join a testing panel , oh, just one thing , they would be required to sign waivers absolving the drug companies of any future liabilities other wise sorry couldn't help.
I do appreciate the fact that new drugs have to be tested, in fact I have partaken in them myself for a new medication (til I recieved an emergency phone call at work telling to stop immediatly) but the point is I wasn't being blackmailed and I hadn't signed any waivers,
