Opinion: Who Really Pays for Drug Development? Both Government and Industry - BioSpace

Once AGAIN, you make a claim WITH ZERO EVIDENCE to support it. Someones OPINION isn't a fact. The NUMBERS I PRESENTED ARE!!
So, you think a 50% subsidy of taxpayer money to fund research and development that big pharmas then profit $BILLIONS from is appropriate?

I do not!!!
 He who pays the piper, calls the tune.What's the connection between sky high drug prices and the millions that Big Pharma spends on lobbying to protect its profits? How much do pharmaceutical CEOs make? How much is spent on blocking reforms that would make drugs and healthcare affordable to millions of Americans? Where do the political donations go? Follow the money with this relationship map.
