Question by PaRtY 2012 -One Down Two to Go: Are Democrats Death Panels beginning to appear?
US breast cancer drug decision ‘marks start of death panels’
America’s health watchdog is considering revoking its approval of the drug Avastin for use on women with advanced breast cancer, leading to accusations that it will mark the start of ‘death panel’ drug rationing.

The FDA advisory panel has now voted 12-1 to drop the endorsement for breast cancer treatment. The panel unusually cited “effectiveness” grounds for the decision. But it has been claimed that “cost effectiveness” was the real reason ahead of reforms in which the government will extend health insurance to the poorest.

If the approval of the drug is revoked then US insurers would be likely to stop paying for Avastin.

The Avastin recommendation led to revived allegations that President Barack Obama’s overhaul of the US health care system would mean many would be denied treatments currently available.

The institutes on alcohol abuse are great initiative that promotes & supports against alcoholism and strives to spread the health benefits for all. Alcoholism abuse is growing at a great pace. The life style today is so stressful that people tend to get to the easy resort of consuming alcohol and drugs. The time is such that not only the colleges, but the school kids are not untouched by the alcohol and drugs. Looking at the need, there are various centers offering help and treatments. Such institutes have become quite dense. The sole reason of such centers is to simply control and cure alcoholism. Having said that it really doesn’t matter how many of such centers are inaugurated, till the time people themselves does not realize that alcohol and drug could not only deteriorate their health, but would also ruin their family life. There are many initiatives taken at national level as well like by the national institute on alcohol abuse and alcoholism to control and provide treatments free or at subsidized cost, the only endeavor being saving the society from the clutches of alcoholism abuse.

As a responsible individual, one must contribute by shouldering the responsibility of checking for alcohol addicts in once own vicinity. Small contributions such as directing people to alcohol treatments, making them understand the real endeavor of such initiates and moreover, motivating the non-alcoholics to support individuals who are addicted rather than think of them as a taboo. This would really make a difference. One national institute on alcoholism and alcoholism despite doing its best can’t make a change in the society; it is us who would take small steps to eliminate alcohol abuse with a broader vision of help & support to such addicts. Understanding the people, who have gotten into the vicious circle of alcoholism, by extending love and care instead of treating them as untouchables, could be certain small steps that could help the victims of alcoholism abuse go a long way – by the end of which, they would gain the same respect and social status that they had before being addicted.

Alcohol treatments would help the addicts to get rid of the addiction but it is our responsibility to give these addicts an environment of support & motivation which would help then to rebuild their identity. The science of health and treatment of alcoholism abuse could be prevented by –

Spreading awareness around the biological behaviors & functioning related to alcohol abuse.
Improvising the quality of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of alcoholism.
Promoting better health care.
