     Recently, it has become clear that Amgen and Johnson & Johnson may have been involved in over pricing the use of drugs which have been sold to hospitals for use with cancer patients with anemia problems from chemotherapy. Additionally, the manufacturers and licensees of the right to sell the three anemia drugs pushed their drugs on doctors and hospitals with significant rebates to the purchasers to "encourage" their use of these drugs. The problem is the drugs caused death to many patients who were already sick, vulnerable and wanting solutions. Oh well, not to worry, the US Chamber of Commerce and all the local Chambers believe that consumers are all deserving of death, illness, misfortune at the hands of the rich and powerful because we are a capitalist country. Tort reform will save the drug companies from paying for the deaths they have caused and the families they have harmed under the guise of providing helpful pharmaceuticals. Wake up America, tort reform is all about company profits increasing, not because litigation is bad, wrong or illegal.
