Perhaps we could step up government funded drug research, and the government could license it to every drug company? We all benefit from curing these chronic diseases, and the current model isn't exactly a model of efficiency.

- ericd 13y agoTo clarify, I was saying that the US govt. should play a bigger role in drug R&D, not the Indian govt (though maybe they should too). US government research money largely goes to research scientists at universities in the form of research grants, so it's not really the government performing the research and spending the money. I wouldn't say the university research departments are money corrupt money sinks. They could also license the fruits of the research to drug companies in other countries for a nominal fee (or free) as a form of humanitarian aid.
