OK, Bert... suppose you are correct. Then what DO I do the next time I see this guy? Just say "Awfully sorry, but if they don't get to charge $1,000 a month for insulin, they won't want to develop their trade name mood elevator with no advantages over an already developed drug " ?

I am all for the profit motive. But there is a line someplace that distinguishes successful from greedy. Like pornography, I may not be able to define it, but I know it when I see it.
