As I said, you are not carrying R&D costs on your back. What you are carrying on your back are the high prices of price fixing that result from your government and the companies colluding to prevent you from shopping for the best price. As a consumer, you become a "price taker" rather than a "price setter" under the classic Smith S/D curve. Socialist is socialist is socialist, and in this case the FDA is as bleepity-bleep and those bleepin bleepity-bleeps.
I wholeheartedly agree with putting a little capitalist common sense to this problem. My question is are you? I don't think you are. You're just spouting the party line. C'mon, use that noggin here. There are a lot of different socialistic hands at work in this market model, and you can't bitch about one and not the others.
