Default Re: Just Saw Sicko, Now Have Question

Be more pissed about this----

Who pays for pharmaceutical innovation?

Since 1999 America has accounted for 71% of the sales of new chemical entities, up from 62%. Japan and Germany, the next two largest pharmaceutical markets, account for just 4% each.

Of course this figure stems from both high volume and high price in the U.S.; it is a massive form of implicit foreign aid.

Other countries like to point out how much we pay for inferior care here is a good place to cut some fat
