>>Of course people (note that I don't say Government because Government simply takes people's money and passes it around) pay the researcher. I send charity to research companies. I am sure you do too. But I my point is that no matter who pays and whether it is an individual or a company they should have the right to put the price for their product according to what market bears (the price should not be controlled by the Government, Period.) I don't know which company produces Lipitor and Viagra but I understand they made billions in profits selling these drugs. And rightly so; they have improved the lives of millions of men. Of course for myself I will say that my cholesterol level is fine without any medication <bg>.

>I really wish you would stop saying things like "the government simply takes people's money and passes it around."

You could try to disprove statements like that, rather than attempt to censor them.

>Blanket statements like that are seldom if ever accurate.

Ironically, that's a blanket statement.
