"If we had applied our current profit-driven mentality to the search for a cure for polio, we wouldn't have successful vaccines today. Instead, we'd have iron lungs in seven designer colors, complete with free Wi-Fi and a variety of iPhone apps."
-- Elizabeth Rosenthal, author of
"An American Sickness"
Her point: In our system today, lifetime treatment is always more profitable than discovering a cure.
