Perhaps you were not paying attention to the earlier converstation between Busdrvr and myself in which he intimated that government support of medical research is communism.
Socialism, Communism and Capitalism are each political policies AND economic policies as the economic policies of each system cannot exist without the political policies that are part of that system.
So are you now sponsoring governemt subsidising drug comapny research? Sure sounds like it to me.
There's a reason for that. If you had read what I said earlier, you would see that I have supported that all along. Government support for drug research makes for lower drug prices for consumers. Government support for medical research cures diseases, privately funded medical research finds ways to make money off diseases.
