The drug company was in the big middle of it. This isn't about what should be, it's about what is in place, and how error killed this child in spite of his mother's concerted efforts to get him medicine that was prescribed and by law, he was entitled to receive. This is a matter for a court of law, not the kangaroo court of public opinion.If a pharmaceutical company can't employ educated decision-makers on the issue of how critical asthma can be nor know the medical laws that guaranteed this mother's child to medicine as needed, a lot more people will die. We should not have to wait until the mayor's kid dies before we make sure the one-parent child doesn't die. If government workers' incompetence is causing people to have to sue in order to make sure this kind of travesty never happens again, and the fed is content to let needless deaths ride, the courts will merely have to kick the government's ass until it corrects itself.
This lawsuit couldn't be righter for that reason.
The drug company had nothing to do with it.and the government workers should not have the lives of mama's and babies in there hands, and the one child's parent should actually have been a parent and gone after the meds her child needed. There are over 100 clinics in the Denver area she could have gone to. It is not the city, state or feral governments job to make sure a parent gets meds for her child. The woman had her options, SHE decided to do nothing. SHE is guilty of neglect as it was pointed out ware I posted and linked to what constitutes child abuse/neglect. She by rights should be prosecuted, instead she will get paid.
How was the drug company in the middle of it? Nothing in the story said they were ever contacted. They probably didn't know anything about it until the story hit the media.
