Peter, it's not like the pharmaceutical companies have been going "out of their way" to benefit humanity.

They're trying to make a buck like everybody else and I certainly don't blame them for that.

I can see giving them "grants" for research. We're already giving them dibs on research done in national labs and universities. They get to set up in Puerto Rico and dodge a lot of taxes that other companies couldn't.

I just want to ask them to come "halfway" on stuff.
