US citizens pay for R&D at the counter when they purchase and others control prices as they don't have to support the R&D. Not so sure that I care for it that way when my wifes cemo was a 1000 a week but I do understand the question on how do you pay for R&D another way?

In Mexico you go to the doc get script and aound the corner to the drug store. Doc appt will cost about 20 to 40 depending on situation. As Juan said in Mexico they utilize Darwin. If you are stupid enough to get prescription drugs and OD then the gene pool needs to be thinned because your not that bright. Kinda harsh way to look at it but it does reduce cost...............can't you see the PC folks in the US if this was our system. Talking heads would go crazy both L & C.
