"giving up [redacted] . . ."
From context, I'm guessing that was likely a reference to a well-known
"little blue pill" (or something medicinally similar).

And the cause of that problem is that it costs over a billion dollars to
bring a new drug to market. Who's going to spend that billion-plus
if the potential market is only a few million? However much good it
could do.
The "little blue pill" was originally developed as a heart attack
prevention. It failed early in trials, but researchers noticed an
interesting side effect that might allow them to eke some profit
out of it after all...

You highlight the problem with the way US capitalism runs things there PJ.
If you wanted to make things as financially efficient as possible then you would
research into things that would reduce the overall costs, whereas the drug
companies (and most others) are hell bent on taking as much money as possible
from us - and this means never actually providing the correct solution to a
problem.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
