| Poll question: Should pharmaceutical companies be allowed to advertise on television? |
|
Their target audience appears to be the average consumer, who more than likely should not be making a decision about what prescription they should be taking. It seems to me these advertisements only lead to higher drug costs, doctor shopping, and more risk of health problems caused by taking unneeded meds.
Or should we be defending freedom of speech on this type of thing?
