    I thought you understood the law of supply but it looks like you don't. And it's not just pharms. It's everything.

        Pharm companies operate to maximize their profits. This is not the same thing as maximizing patient outcomes. Reducing profit of activities that do not maximize patient outcomes is a good thing and will result in better patient outcomes.

            As a member of the 1%, I appreciate the efforts of ordinary Americans to lower my taxes and reduce the regulations I must follow. However, I freely admit that allowing me to make and keep more money will not cause me to hire any more employees or spend significantly more money. I can only eat so much caviar. Eating more would just make me sick.

              If you can't eat more caviar, then why not hire more workers to eat caviar for you? Or are you not rich enough to achieve that level of decadence?

                That would increase the risk of investing in every new drug and I doubt it woulx be easy to measure.

                  Wow, never thought of that. You, Aeson, are one decadent mofo.

                    I could pay people to eat my caviar in the PI.

                      Dear Congress...I am very EAGER to have you finally accept my agenda...if not, I will do it anyway and screw separation of powers. I have waited 5 years to have you bow down to me, but I guess I will just have to put you under my boot. The State of the Union is good!

                        With every administration the president seems to be more like a dictator.

                            Actually, I don't like caviar ... but I'll outsource my new job to those who don't mind ...

                                Actually that's the feel I got from it too. A bit of an exaggeration, but it had that touch to it.
