I can't argue with your points, you seem to know those areas well, but there is a far larger picture. Example . Right now the US government is pumping the AIDs treatments to Africa. There are other programs besides those in hand and coming up. The people in this country as a rule take care of our own. Then we take care of the rest of the world.Tax dollars at work. It's big business nestled within special government programs that will continue far far into the future.

Alot could be said on this far more than I have time for.
Factor this as a thought, HMO's will not cover many of the treatments currently, and I hope this isn't a trend, mainly because of cost. However a person can buy the treatments themselves, at a cost of perhaps a thousand dollars to many thousands of dollars per period, monthly, bi monthly whatever, for as long as you what to live. That's happening now. And I don't see, at least right now, how this can be reversed.
