That's why we need to pay MORE taxes, not LESS so that studies are NOT done by private organizations. The taxpayers need to be willing to PAY for good taxpayer sponsored Medical studies. If you choose the cheapest option, you normally get the worst outcomes. A taxpayer MIGHT (?) have more money in their pockets with lower taxes, but, like today you now have to make YOUR life or DEATH decisions on cheap, marginal information. In the 50s through 70s Universities got their research money from government / taxpayers and people GAINED knowledge from GOOD research. Now you have money in your pocket but you are completely UNSURE whether or NOT you can trust your government or your Doctors. Big change from around the 60s when taxes were higher and PROGRSSIVE!!!!
