George W. Bush's Supreme Court selections are paying off big time, this time for big pharma. From Reuters:
(Reuters) - The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that generic drug companies cannot be sued under state law over allegations that they failed to provide adequate label warnings about potential side effects.
Add this to the Wal-Mart case recently decided, and the Citizens United which allows unlimited money from corporations into politics and you will begin to understand just how important the Supreme Court appointments are. And why corporation will spend billions to get even more corporation friendly justices on the bench.
In the meantime, you might want to re-think that generic prescription. CNN had a very disturbing video of Gladys Mensing who developed a severe neurological movement disorder from a generic drug used for acid reflux. I'll post the video once it is on their site.
