Exactly. Anyone that's invested in biotech or pharmaceutical companies knows that it costs about $1 billion to take a drug through clinical trials and through FDA approval. And that's after they discover the potential drug in the first place.

I guess the Democrats don't want any more drugs in the future. Why not just eliminate drug company profits so that they are forced to stop research and development.

That sounds like a typical liberal idea.
