Agreed ... for long-term vs. short term. But long term is already being funded by the gov't. Only in some cases. There are many areas where private enterprise is a poor tool for providing something. This includes a lot of health care, and that includes at least a number of areas of pharmaceutical development, I think. |

I know of some development of vaccines for virulent stuff by CDC, but I'm not aware of pill development and such. I see a LOT of private pharma outfits coming and going away. |
