What on earth happened to medical advice being based on medical fact?
We have huge issues with the quality of care provided by our NHS, but thankfully they are usually financial, rather than issues of the fundamental ideology of what advice and opinion medical practitioners are 'allowed' to dispense.
Thanks for this new perspective on my own country's helthcare service.....I think I should appreciate it more!

Lou...With the new administration came a regression back to the days of back alley abortions and coat hanger remedies. We had a resurgence of wanting to reverse Roe vs. Wade (probably never waning but more agressive now). I was born in the 50's and I feel like we are reverting to the 50's values again.
Not only does this OTC pill overcome some of the reversion this country has elapsed to, but it actually gives us credit that we CAN indeed think for ourselves and we DO NOT have to have the government or health insurance companies interject themselves in to every part of our daily/private lives!
We are tired of being judged and rejected! Judged by the government and rejected by the insurance companies. Any way that can get around this surge of demeaning behavior is ok by me!
Granted...some may abuse or misunderstand the use of the pill. We can't govern everyone, but stupidity isn't all encompassing! There are many things on the OTC market (not all medicinal) that some peeps should NEVER have access to...but they do. I have faith in the youth of our country. I know we can read and I know we are educated. The label[s] will spell it all out and the over all responsible WILL lie on the consumer.

No one, as of now, that I know of, has challenged the authority of said health insurance companies...leaving them to impose their rejections more and more on every type of medical condition! I mean EVERY type...including cancer to mental health...etc. They have the right to reject any aid they deem unnecessary...and they are NOT medical professionals but merely insurance agents...saving money for their company. Our government governs NOT! We pay out the wazzoo for health insurance and the insurance company can and does reject any medical service it thinks will be served at a lesser cost with some other/lesser degree medicine, even if this medicine isn't the best for said condition.
In essence...this pill is a conquest over the naysayers in Washington and the insurance companies who have a tight hold on our health and well being!
