This is from a Henry Miller editorial:
Bringing a new drug to market now requires on average 12 to 15 years, and costs have skyrocketed to more than $1.2 billion in no small part because the average length of a clinical trial increased 70% between 1999 and 2006. Perhaps the most ominous statistic of all is that drug manufacturers recoup their R&D costs for only one in five approved drugs.

This gives a whole new meaning to the idea of the capitalists selling the socialists the rope to be used at their own hanging.
