What, never seen corruption at work? Somebody at Sanofi, or connected to them, was connected elsewhere, and hey, there's your license :) (No, no cash payment.... but my kid really wanted to get into Harvard, maybe a limited endowment/scholarship? You know somebody, right?)

We humans are predictable.

This is why I have low expectations of government solutions to high healthcare costs. How about a radical experiment in price transparency like we have with every other commodity? Rather than the US healthcare system becoming more like the UK's NHS, the opposite is happening[1]. The crony capitalists are winning and they are hoping we give their government buddies more control over our lives.
