Slacker,

I think it needs to be pointed out that this isnt a particularly sustainable course of action either. There is a non-trivial impact to US competitiveness that comes from sustaining the world's drug R&D budget. I'm not sure what the solution is, but I have to say that giving the rest of the world a free ride on US health care costs isnt very appealing.

It is as if the US is subsidising socialised healthcare abroad by sparing them from paying this expense...

Joe
