A win is a win, so the Americans should take it were they can but this will just push costs elsewhere. I image they'll just recoup the profit on the next 10 most popular drugs were they can gouge. We really need to start talking about comprehensive healthcare reform, a revolution so to speak, that stops this stupid patchwork and actually give us universal healthcare.
It opens a crack to do it again. And again and again. If it didn't hurt them they wouldn't fight it so hard. But I do agree we should be trying for something more comprehensive. That said, I don't think the country is currently capable of doing something like that. We're too broken.
