<<<According to the NIH, taxpayer-funded scientists conducted 55 percent of the research projects that led to the discovery and development of the top five selling drugs in 1995.>>>

I don't blame the drug company's use of taxpayer-funded scientists. If I were CEO of a drug company, I would not gamble investor money on risky R&D. I would only do research on sure bets like just making improvements on existing products that have good markets.

People who want complete free market mechanisms to prevail would destroy our ability to compete.

We need to continue and improve on our private and public partnership policies.
