John Dewey lives on!

“Psychology can help to constitute Great Communities in which human beings might flourish.”

And drugs for everyone can lead us to this godless utopia.

then have special legislation passed that forbids us from shopping around for the best deal.

Having been to India and Thailand visiting Pharma plants, you're welcome to your "savings." I wouldn't give those products to my dogs.

This so called Dr. is cited in Quackwatch:

Nonrecommended Periodicals
I consider these publications untrustworthy because they promote misinformation, espouse unscientific theories, contain unsubstantiated advice, and/or fail to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources of advice. The magazines and journals marked with an asterisk (*) also carry ads for questionable products, services, and/or publications. Few newsletters carry ads for products. Those marked with a double asterisk (**) have been accompanied by questionable solicitations.

more from WorldNetDaily: “A sweeping mental health initiative will be unveiled by President George W Bush in July. The plan promises to integrate mentally ill patients fully into the community by providing “services in the community, rather than institutions,” according to a March 2004 progress report entitled New Freedom Initiative. While some praise the plan’s goals, others say it protects the profits of drug companies at the expense of the public....

The commission commended the Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP) as a “model” medication treatment plan that “illustrates an evidence-based practice that results in better consumer outcomes.”

...the Texas project, which promotes the use of newer, more expensive antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs, sparked off controversy when Allen Jones, an employee of the Pennsylvania Office of the Inspector General, revealed that key officials with influence over the medication plan in his state received money and perks from drug companies with a stake in the medication algorithm (15 May, p1153). He was sacked this week for speaking to the BMJ and the New York Times.

The Texas project started in 1995 as an alliance of individuals from the pharmaceutical industry, the University of Texas, and the mental health and corrections systems of Texas. The project was funded by a Robert Wood Johnson grant – and by several drug companies.

Mr Jones told the BMJ that the same “political/pharmaceutical alliance” that generated the Texas project was behind the recommendations of the New Freedom Commission, which, according to his whistleblower report, were “poised to consolidate the TMAP effort into a comprehensive national policy to treat mental illness with expensive, patented medications of questionable benefit and deadly side effects, and to force private insurers to pick up more of the tab”

Sure. Unfortunately, it's just as illegal for Americans to shop around in, say, Basel Switzerland.

Big parents need to take their little children out of Big Government Schools and tell Big Liberal sacks of $hit to go to Big Hell.

P.S....just because a RA Doc diagnosed me with “RA” doesn’t mean I have it.....he and all the others were WRONG....and luckily I’m not into drugs.....so after 2 appts....I declined his services and went elsewhere, to other docs who try to get to the BOTTOM of a problem, not slap some drug on top of it. RA docs LOVE their patients.....it’s a constant revenue stream....
