This is the clearest expression of intellectual excreta possible. It should be disposed of in the waste basket of pure bullshit:

a. Vascepa will be approved based on both of the following criteria:
NOTE THE COMMAND TO OBEDIENCE
1) Used for cardiovascular risk reduction
ABOUT THE ONLY JUSTIFICATION IF THE TG<500 MG/DL
-AND-
2) Documentation of positive clinical response to therapy
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN--SHOW US THAT THE TG WENT DOWN? OR THAT THEY ARE STILL ALIVE BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T SUCCUMBED TO AN MI?
-AND-
3) Patient is on an appropriate low-fat diet and exercise regimen
WHAT IS APPROPRIATE? WHO DETERMINES THIS?
-AND-
4) Patient is receiving maximally tolerated statin therapy
THIS IS WHATEVER A PHYSICIAN OR PATIENT SAYS IT IS
-AND-
5) Prescribed by or in consultation with one of the following:
a) Cardiologist
b) Endocrinologist
c) Lipid specialist
PRESUMABLY, NO INTERNIST OR FAMILY PHYSICIAN IS CAPABLE OF EXERCISING THEIR BRAIN ACCORDING TO UNITED HEALTH! (PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS SEE MOST OF THE CASES ANYWAY-PERHAPS THAT IS THE POINT)

HK...The 'raison d'etre' for these UHC rules is to punish Amarin, not to help patients ....The potential implementation of these rules constitutes a breach of contract with patients and with Doctors, especially primary care Doctors...It is a flagrant abuse of power by a dominant health care provider...It is done, not to help patient care or patients' pocket books, but to help own UHC's own pocket book.
