No worries... I agree with you. I guess my bigger concern is who is


structuring these grants on behalf of the gov't? If the gov't is funding pharma R&D, the gov't should absolutely have a say in pricing decisions. Who is the dumbass that is providing these grants without any sort of strings attached. It's easy to blame big Pharma because they make for a good villain, but on the other side of that transaction someone, acting on behalf of the gov't, is a very bad steward of taxpayer money. We should not be paying for R&D and then allowing a private company to reap all of the profits.
