Hi Tommy,

Thanks for posting this.

Whatever your point of view, the problem for us – as in we, the people – is that even combining our fund (via tax or insurance) Big Pharma has pushed it so far we have reached to point of not being able to pay.

I expect fiscal reality will see the pendulum swing back to somewhere better.

YMMV
