Hello fellow PWPs: What do you think? Anyone care to start a discussion? I recently posted a message re: a Congressional hearing using a "What If" phrase to challenge a little activism. A fellow support-group member has used this phrase many times to try to get himself, and others to think more creatively, a little differently--to get one's thinking out of a rut. The following words are his: ***************************************************************************** What if we can demonstrate to the pharmaceutical companies that it is more profitable and in their best interests to fund developing a cure instead of developing maintenance drugs? Who has any ideas? How much would you really pay them for a "PD cure pill"? $5,000? $20,000? $? Could anyone develop a sound business case? Would you pay what it would cost you for of a 15 year supply of Mirapex up front for the "PD cure pill" even if your insurance did not cover it? Or that + $5,000+? Are there any other business planners / thought leaders who would like to form a small team to address this issue and make this what if a reality? If so, please reply to this message with your ideas, background, and how we can contact you. Charlotte Mancuso
