SOho,
I must say I am becoming disappointed in you. Somebody here at the forum touted you as a intelligent well read man.
Its apparent by your response that you have not read the
Physicians for a National Health Program - Health Care is a Human Right Plan.
They plan to negotiate for drugs from drug companies. Not take them from drug companies.
Besides the US tax payer pays for a lot of R&D for all kinds of industries not the least of which is the drug companies. Then we just hand them over tax payer funded research and say here run with it make billions.
Do you need me to look you up a short history on how much tax payer money is spent on R&D with universities throughout this country that goes eventually to benefit Pharma companies Soho?
I'll tell you what Soho, since somebody said your a economic whiz, lets assume that is true. Do you think its a fiscally sound policy for the US tax payer to fund R&D in any sector and not be paid part of that back by the corporations that eventually make money on that tax payer funded research?
I'll take that answer before you read the proposal put forth by the Physicians For National Healthcare if you please. Because I am sure if you ever bothered to read the plan it would take you the better part of a hour, days if you wanted to look into the links they supply . Like the American Journal of Medicine and the research they have done and why they are backing this plan because it will work.
I really am disappointed Soho, I was hoping you were a whiz, we could use some brains around AWE. I have never met the first whiz though that speaks before they educate themselves on the subject.
