By this reasoning, we should get rid of anything that cuts into their profits -- taxes, etc. -- hell, we should be giving them money, in the hope that they will invest it in R&D.
Alternatively, you are just saying that because drug companies make money selling a product that's good for people, we should not do anything that limits their profits. Or the little girl gets it.

Speaking of R&D, did anyone see this article about stem cell research and the United States is losing its edge?? I know a few physicians at the Texas Heart Institute that have to fly to Brazil once or twice a month to do their research because it is not allowed in the United States.
