Lou you misunderstand me. Im as conservative as it gets, and big pharm can make as much cash as it wants, just like any other biz.
im just talkin about the whole concept of getting a drug to market if it works, if this were to work, and help to really stop cancer, great, but we all know how long it takes to get to market.
this is similar to our fave rave race-baiting poverty pimps, if such things as real jobs and economic growth were left to conservatives to work on, it would eliminate the need for the race-baiters.
i tend to think along the same lines for big pharm, any med that successfully wipes out a dangerous disease, can pretty much eliminate the profit motive for making it...
if it works and cures, fantastic, but beware big pharm....
thats why i advocate natural medicine that cant be regulated by the fda, or taken over by big pharm...
You do realize that the biggest reason for any delay is the FDA and other government agencies? If there was a true free market, products would quickly get to market.
Of course, the other big impediment to quick product availability is the viciously evil trial lawyers who work to destroy free enterprise. In their world, ALL mistakes, or unknown consequences are purposeful
I do, but your knowledge of that seems to vary greatly against your original comment, which I took to mean that "making a profit" was a bad thing. If that was not your intent, I apologize.
