When your little life is saved with inventions made by big pharma here in the private sector dominated US health care system, maybe then you will see my point.
You do realize most preliminary research into drugs happens in those public universities Republicans seem to hate so much? Pharma companies just take those inventions/research and create a practical (or whatever sells) product.
I know here in California, raising tuition rates for universities is the first thing Republicans do. And some have said, including reasonable ones I could see myself voting for, that public universities should charge as much as private universities. All these policies would do is create a privileged class that gets to go to college.
That sounds more like "Breaking News: Politicians Like Money"
Most of the Republicans I know who don't hold office, and by looking at my avatar I'm sure you can guess that is a lot, are huge fans of public universities because, for most of them, they present the only opportunity available to give themselves or their children a higher education.
