"McKesson drug dispenser, United Health Group..Insurance...and CVS....None of these companies have the customers well being as their primary concern... "

Add Express Scripts and all the pharmacy benefits administrators to your list and what do you get? You get a list of companies that do not provide heath care. They just shuffle health care from providers to the patients and supposedly negotiate on your behalf. What these companies really do is take profit out of the healthcare system to benefit shareholders.

IMO it will take nearly perfect RI results to silence those "fudgers". But we don't need that perfection to be successful.

I think that RI results can be categorized into 3 categories:

A) complete utter failure (I give it < .1% chance) - no positive risk reduction in PE, any SE or any subgroup = $.50

B) succesful in some or many ways, but enough wiggle room for fudgers to do their thing (I give it 50% chance) - this could be 30% RRR in PE but no significant improvement in CV death; or even miss on PE but show significant improvement in diabetics and/or heart attack, stroke, etc. = $2-$20

C) indisputable success (I give it 50% chance) - PE and all key SEs would need to be above 15% and probably above 20%. = $$$$$
