  7. Conner? Conner?? Have we entered a time warp again?

  15. Must mean "Colored People Time", as in he had the slows, as Abraham Lincoln would have said.
  16. You are clueless. Pharma pays MDs to do the clinical trials. There is also no cost to the patients in the trials. I told you the rest of the world shafts Americans by refusing to allow new drugs into their formularies except at the arbitrarily dictated prices. Of course it's billions of dollars - and the American consumer is paying for it. You really are a birdbrain. So they didn't teach you ethics in that Med School in Grenada. No surprise.
  17. Figures you wouldn't know. It's the proper term, but I'm sure you're just kidding me, you're so learned. As to "excess dollars" you mean the hundreds of millions of dollars that are sunk costs when drugs have trials run worldwide and fall short of FDA approval causing the companies to walk away with nothing but a financial loss? Those costs? Oh, you mean the payoffs to MDs so they'll prescribe the company's drugs? Pharma reps can't hardly give a Dr. a pen or a coffee cup these days. The number of drugs that are brought to market is a reflection of market forces. Pharms often shut down promising studies because their internal marketing studies foretell they will not recoup the development, packaging, distribution, and marketing costs. Or the patent will run out before they can bring it to market and the jackal generic manufacturers will copy their intellectual property without doing a pennies worth of R&D. That's fair. The NIH does sponsor drug discovery already.
  18. There are better ways of doing things than the ACA and the former status quo, but the Dems would have none of it. They were just hell bent for leather to ram this abortion down our throats. Big pharma gets pilloried because the cost of ethical pharmaceuticals is so high in this country. The bolded from your post is exactly what happens overseas by the various regulatory agencies - they arbitrarily set the price that they will pay for the drugs. That leaves pharmas to recover their R&D costs where? Right. Right here in the USA. Ergo, Americans are footing the bill for the rest of the world to have new drugs discovered and used at cut rate prices on people in other countries - including Canuckistan.
  19. No small wonder they chose those two dorms, what with those micro-agression, elitist names and all.
