12. The government subsidizes nearly ALL pharma researchUpdated at 3:19 AM
The universities -- mainly grad students -- do the work. ALL of it.

The tenured professors take the academic credit.

Then the patents are sold off at pennies on the dollar.

Such a deal!

But at least we have excellent medical technology to make the lives of the rich a little healthier.
