I think, you know, allowing insurance companies, you know, to have control is the wrong way to go. I think allowing people to have more options is the better way to go. I don't think that the federal government should be picking and choosing what kind of drugs that, you know, individuals take. I think that should be left within the doctor's purview. But I also think that when you start thinking about research and development, we don't want to be killing the research and development area of drug companies. (04:27–04:34)
