Fact is, these fraudulent attorneys are going to be big consumers of Merck products when they get older and if Merck can't expand and get more useful drugs pushed through an already idiotic approval process, these guys will be slitting their own throats.

Big companies like Merck have used the FDA approval system as a way to kill their smaller competition simply because of the economies of scale in the paperwork business. Further, the FDA provides them a degree of protection.

Deregulate insurance. Pursue criminal prosecution of attorneys who foist fraudulent claims. Cap contingency fees. End the restraint of trade in the legal profession. Reinstate TONA.

Problem solved.

Interesting stuff. What does "TONA" stand for? Couldn't find it in the article for some reason (possibly caffeine deficiency)

Reinstate TONA.

Can't reinstate what wasn't ever "instated" in the first place.
