Talking to yourself again huh?
Pharmaceutical companies have no need for tax breaks, they get subsidies for research and development as it is. They are profit driven using R&D as a cover to justify said profits. Here is 2 good examples...1. Insulin has been around since the late 50's and has been improved dramatically but they have some varieties that have been developed 30 years ago and well beyond recovering the cost to R&D. That very same insulin at first, cost the patient around 25 USD and today close to 195 USD for ONE VIAL yet they will continue to claim it is to cover the cost of development.....2. .........it has been available long before the name you know it as today, they even have an extension on the patent to avoid it going generic. It started out at a cost of around 4 USD per tab, today upwards of 30 USD. Here is the kicker... it has been around in generic form for close to 2 decades under another "name" and made by the same company no less! They have actually made a deal with some insurers( Medicare/caid) to not prescribe it for conditions other than what it is intended for and that condition is very specific. It costs around 9 USD per tab.I wonder if we live in a world where Pharma Companies Donate Hundreds of Millions of Dollars to non profit organizations like the American Cancer Society, it would be a very nice tax write off.
American Cancer Society or what ever non profit organization, takes that money, (keeping a little for themselves of coarse) and donates it to the Pharma Companies for cancer drug research
I want to win all 400....then I can give them out to all the pretty girls/ladies.....just might get a date out if it!
As a person who has cancer and several family members in 4 generations battling right now i agree. If you look at cancer treatment regimen over the past 50 years while also looking at the funds available to let's say komen it's sickening. It hasn't changed. 50 years ago people did chemo and rads. They say cure rates have increased but that isn't really true. What did change is how they measure survival. When you read about survival rates is only for 5 years. It's how many people survived for 5 years after dx. Komen operates on the marketing of awareness but looking at their donations from last year.. Id say plenty are aware lol. But better yet what did komen do with their funds? Wink wink. Hint it didn't go to help anyone with cancer. I'm picking on komen because they actually raise the most, use the less for helping and have been caught pink washing as well as selling items that had known carcinogens in them to raise money.

Well my point is Pharmaceutical companies will never give money to a charity unless there is some form of a kickback. They want all the money they can get so they can continue to pay the FDA for approval on meds that actually cause more harm than good....One reason many people take several medications just to counter the others they take. The circle continues
Rant over....I need a Martini NOW
EDIT: removed incorrect cost from 19 to 9
