I'd like to see this hammered into shape. tecoyah sums up some possible pluses and minuses. It could well be time for the drug companies to be legislated into greater social responsibility. They will find numerous ways to survive and prosper. Operating at too great an advantage causes them to be relatively unmotivated by keen competition and to spend exorbitant amounts of capital on some quite needless promotions of their products.
The pluses, as summed up here by tecoyah, would improve the overall status of human capital of our nation. Human capital is the basis for all capital creation.
