"Perhaps it is time to actually try exit."

They can't exit the pharma market soon enough--they have done a phenomenally poor job of providing important medication. Witness the current lack of antibiotic or vaccine research at for profits--NFP's like St. Jude Children's Research hospital are far ahead in providing treatments that would actually improve health outcomes.

As Michael Perelman has far capably demonstrated in his book 'Steal this Idea: The Corporate Confiscation of Creativity' government programs have also done better in producing health outcomes that matter.

I can't wait to see for profit drug companies implode so research can be put back in the hands of the government and not for profits, where it belongs.
