Berryfit, thanks so much for the reply.

In my opinion, where you are, on the ground level of providing care, is what matters now. The battle has moved to the trenches. I hope you see a lot of movement and acceptance now that V has its label.

No lying this one hurt a lot. But I would much rather have what we got on Friday than anything else right now. The board comments and JT's comments leave me believing we got a label with substantial flexibility that puts important decisions in the hands of providers.

I am still taking the long-term view, and that view still looks fine. Somebody wants a fight. Bring it on. Amarin has been fighting with one hand tied behind its back, but now the ropes are off. And it has all of the right pieces in place including the backing of the medical societies and the cost effectiveness that insurers want to see. Most importantly, the simple fact is that people will pay for something that works and makes them healthier.
