Make it illegal for pharmaceutical companies to advertise their drugs on television.

Created by D.P. on October 03, 2011

Drug companies inundate consumers with visions and fantasies of health by popping a pill. They say "just ask your doctor" after showing you their product. I say this should be banned and be made illegal in the United States. Any doctor who is bugged enough by his patient might cave-in and give into the demands made by patients even though it is against his professional opinion. It is not right for the consumer to be telling the doctor/professional what their opinion should be based off excitement from some high-priced advertising campaign.
