Going into the 21st Century

The 21st century is hinting at being a time of great changes and occurrences. Times have changed drastically in only a few decades, and there is little doubt that changes and advancements have been occurring far faster this past century than perhaps, in any other century known to mankind. Technology, medicine, and international relations have always proven to be the most advancing, and the coming of the 21st century will prove this fact even further. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Government Involvement in the Pharmaceutical Industry
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing anticipated increased regulation of the pharmaceutical industry. Everyone expected to pay more than they would like for their prescription medications in years past, but the former Burroughs-Wellcome component of the current Glaxo-Wellcome generated a public outcry when it first marketed AZT® as the first - and only - drug treatment available for AIDS patients. AZT was priced far higher than any of the company's other products. Little did we know then that the formula on which AZT's pricing was set would become the norm. Government payment involvement already has worked to put the price of many prescriptions out of reach of those not receiving government subsidy themselves, and further government involvement promises to restrict market competition even more.

Health Care Delivery in Iceland
