lets say i run a medical company that patented a successful drug that is now out of date. i have 200 employees and need a new drug to keep the business running. I have no ideas or leads on something new that would be successful. instead of going belly up i buy into the public option and lobby for tax dollars on a new innovative drug to senators that know nothing about pharma. i assure them for 10 billion this drug will revolutionize something. grease a few palms and i can get funding and make plenty of money for ten years. Within 8 years i place blame on someone for bad results and secure another 10 billion to do a newer better drug trial..... this kinda shit is happening already but imagine in a solely gov ran system. when BS and connections secure more funds then intelligent investors and results what would you do. not to mention the competing for tax funds when you know you have a good product vs the others who are spending all there time scheming for the funds. talk about confidence killer too great minds.

- oh and id use the employees as guilt trips to grease hands in the state im in.********
