>>>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 wasn't trying to censor anyone.

Re blanket statements, I guess I am busted there. Fair point.
