[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why?  Because people need access to basic healthcare, and because treatments like this need to be monitored.  So carving out this one medication means that those privileged enough to already have healthcare will have access to it, while those who won’t have access to healthcare, let alone consistent healthcare, still won’t have access to this particular class of medications — no matter how wonderful they might be.

I’m much more concerned about universal healthcare access for everyone than I am about this particular carve-out. [/quote]

My proposal for the carve out is make this medication over the counter and free. The government will ship it to you no questions asked as long as you are 18+ and a legal resident of the US. [/quote]

So, how does your proposal handle serious negative side effects like bowel obstructions, kidney problems, and pancreatitis? Oh, and possibly risks of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and suicidal behavior. Nice that it’s free. Again — potentially very problematic for people without access to actual healthcare. Who’s legally responsible when the serious medical problems pop up — and people die?—  Including people that never would have been prescribed medications like this if there were competent medical oversight? “The government” that you want to ship medications “no questions asked”?  Should we just tell people it was your neat idea?
