No, I was thinking more in line with people who pretend to be conservative but will gladly take advantage of anti-capitalist policies that allow themselves to save a few bucks at the expense of everyone else. There is a large contingent of people in this country who are fine with screwing over everyone else as long as they get theirs. We normally call these people "liberals," "progressives," "statists," "socialists," "communists," or just plain idiots. Sometimes these people try and masquerade as conservative. But that's not what they are. They're just a bunch of posers.

Nine out of ten of all new drug therapies are discovered in the US. Countries that practice pharmaceutical price controls don't discover new drugs. But they do force those who do invest the billions of dollars required, over a period that averages 13 years, to sell those products at prices they deem as fair, not what the market will bear. Gotta keep the socialist masses happy. If the drug companies refuse to cooperate, these people will gladly turn the NME over to their generic industries while thumbing their collectivist noses at international patent law. These people are scum, they are collectivists, and they are leeches. Nice company you keep.

I want my children to have access to more new drugs that treat disease, not less. How some people think differently is absolutely mind-boggling. I guess they believe that as long as they get theirs, screw everyone else. How conservative. How pathetic.
