It’s also very ironic that just as we are on the verge of really stunning advances in biotechnology, we are fixing to destroy innovation in our health care industry. And just as I (and a bunch of other boomers) are about to need it too. Here’s a proposal. Let’s wait until those with the mean age of Obama voters reach an age where they really need health care, to “reform” it.

Perhaps the Chinese will take over on the pharmaceutical innovation front. After all, they’re taking over on everything else.
