That's wonderful. But you still haven't got anything to say about Burger's observation that profits are made in this business before generics can compete. Evidently it's a tough industry in which to design around the patent. (Which, after all, is a form of government regulation limiting competition.)

Well since I'm accused of creating irrelevant side arguments so I can win, let me ask what point burger's point raises.
This started when I said Canada has bad medical and its citizens come here, SAM said "busloads go to Canada to buy pharms." (Of course if true the buses would be raided at the border) I said thats another reason why turning the US into Canada would screw up our health care- pharm cos. would stop developing.
burger points out profits are mainly during the patent period- okay- I don't see how that impacts my argument.
