Not money.  Greed, which is another way of spelling dysfunction.  This is 
standard operating procedure for pharma.  Literally, this is how they work.  
They spend very little on research and put all their money into development, 
which is to say marketing and distribution especially in the form of 
"educating" doctors.  They even turn down new products (always developed by 
others) if there's not a big enough of a market for them.  But, if the product 
does take off for some reason, they "develop" it (market it) and take all the 
credit.  And they claim gazillions as tax write offs for their nonresearch and 
marketing.  Tax write offs, taxes, as in what you and I pay in income taxes.  
Now they're plundering Medicare.  Whatever.

Just because he doesn't exist, doesn't mean none of his thoughts had merit.
