The pharmacist engaged in the common practice of exchanging the name-brand drug for the generic equivalent and provided Ms. Bartlett with sundilac. Ms. Bartlett suffered from toxic epidermal necrolysis; the condition disfigured Ms. Bartlett, leaving her disabled and nearly blind. When Ms. Bartlett took the drug, it did not carry a warning on its label for toxic epidermal necrolysis. Initially, the lower courts decided with Ms. Bartlett, that her pain, suffering and the wrong of of Mutual justified the jury’s award of $21 million. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has now reversed those decisions.

Now you can nit pick my post, claim it is only one person's link or opinion, but I think anyone can read it or other sources and come to the conclusion that its a basic protect big business decision. Unbelievable that this country who went to war with England for the right to trial, now has it shot down by it's own Supreme Court.
IT IS NOT A LAW !!!!

Did you get that point..that is the major point...it was a court decision..NOT A LAW !!! That is what has to be clear to folks...NO LAW WAS PASSED BY ANYONE.
