congress you don't think too kindly about bailing out wall street and car companies or letting big pharma write the new health care law or having the f.c.c. regulate the internet but they write this sort of thing keeps happening all the time so why is that let's get them to answer that question joining me to discuss this are and there's the last beeper reason t.v. and reason dot com and that well it's for a reason magazine they're both authors of the book separation of independence how libertarian politics can fix what's wrong with america gentlemen thank you for coming on tonight saying i don't have both of you you know you've just come one of the times so you wrote a book together i don't care is it later to find out how that actually was without tearing your head up but what you call this is a manifesto what are you trying to get here larry here it's an empty political political manifesto our whole world view is predicated on the idea that life is too important to spend all the time going to block meetings and setting up special action committees and things like that the focus of the b

this is a big win for big pharma. a lot of us don't know this. when you are described a drug, the drugstore that you go to sells that information to big pharma. they don't know the patient's name, but they know what the doctor did. big pharmaceutical companies take that information and let's say they sell zoloft. dr. smith prescribes prozac and they go to him and market zoloft. studies show that doctors change their prescribing habits based on this information. several states in new england didn't like that and they said, we're going to make that illegal. and the supreme court says, no, data is data. if you want to buy it and sell it, that's fine. this marketing to our doctors will continue. the our doctors will continue to get visits from pharmaceutical companies and our doctors will continue to be influenced by pharmaceutical companies about what kinds of things they should be prescribing. >> have you heard from any investigations who say they don't like those kinds of visits? well, you know what's interesting, fredericka, what i hear from doct

big pharma in this country has fought against any type of health care reform, has made it very expensive. the cost of insulin has increased from about $32 a vial to over $50 a vial. since the health care bill was passed in congress, it is impossible for me to believe that insulin production costs have increased over 100%, or route 100% -- or around 100%. something is going on, and i think it is called greed. i would like the commentators and addressed the issue of healthcare in this country -- if you are willing to provide it people like me with any type of reasonable health care coverage -- they are allowed to continue their criminal behavior. guest: you mentioned that pharmaceuticals opposing health- care reform. that is not the case. we want to make sure that everybody has access to affordable health insurance. we are very much supportive of that . your comment about greed, i just don't agree with that. and a standby people have that perspective, but that is not -- i understand why people have that perspective, but that is not what our companies are about. the government needs to cont
