Pink Ribbon Reality
by Peter Pitts
Will healthcare be discussed during tonight's presidential debate? Smart money says "yes."
So does hopeful money -- since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
That being the case, which candidate deserves to wear the Pink Ribbon?
A few questions to consider before answering:
Which candidate supports a platform that would accelerate the pharmaceutical community and the FDA down the Critical Path?
Which candidate supports a program that believes in getting women with breast cancer the most appropriate care as early in their disease state as possible?
Which candidate supports a program that understands the value of incremental innovation and the "price/value" equation?
Will either candidate speak up for "the four rights" -- the right medicine for the right patient in the right dose at the right time?
Will either candidate wear a pink ribbon tonight?
Will either candidate wear a pink ribbon for reasons other than optics?
