The Times piece is really worth reading. There are some legit reasons the vaccines have gotten so expensive. What seems questionable is how the costs never seem to drop, even after they've presumably covered their development outlay.

The Times cites a survey suggesting a third of family practitioners are considering jettisoning vaccines entirely.
What bothers me about this is that he could be making a valid point if he weren't being so....Matt Lauer-y. It's true that neither men nor women can 'have it all.' And I think the fact that men, too, struggle with sacrificing family for their careers is brushed aside. Society is waaaaaaay harsher on women who…
Let's be clear, it's not possible to work 60+ hours a week and be there for the home stuff. Maybe once and a while if you're the boss you can arrange your schedule to be there but you aren't doing the daily after school pick ups, the homework, etc. It doesn't matter if you're working three jobs making minimum wage…
Does it ever occur to these asshole fathers that the only reason they are afraid of their daughters dating is because they treated women so fucking horribly until they met the one they decided to marry/procreate with? Why doesn't anyone ever discuss the desire to teach their sons how to treat women like human fucking…
I ain't mad, but you don't exactly sound like a joy to be around.
I kind of wish this were a series: Lindy West Ruins Movies!
Not even just health. Ability to control fertility is so crucially tied to women's ability to control their economic, social, and creative lives.
It's going in my obituary: "And never once did she ever regret not having children. Not even for a moment."
She is. She always struck me as kind of generic, but now it's like she's figured out who she is and is articulate about it in an awesome way. I don't know if it's a new publicist or aging or what, but I appreciate it.
Is it me, or is Cameron Diaz getting more awesome as time goes on?
No one here wants the multi-thousand dollar a month electric bill for inmates to get AC when some of the CO's don't have it at their homes.
One is that medical and the library are the only two buildings with AC and since they usually are waiting all day for their turn at sick call, they are escaping 110+ degrees in their cells
When you go in for a regular annual physical, doesn't your doctor listen to your lungs and palpate your abdomen to feel your internal organs (including the ridge of the liver near your ribs) or do blood panel tests to measure organ functions? I'd be worried if a doctor wasn't checking as many of my organs as they can…
I have no sympathy for them whatsoever. They're every bit as freaky as the nanny. They violated really serious labor laws but still felt like they could play the victim to the police and the media. Read this interview. They honestly don't understand that there are laws that apply to employers and feel victimized by…
Right, and paying only room and board to watch three kids, from 1 to 11? That's nowhere near an appropriate salary for that job. You get what you pay for in life, and what they paid in this instance was just enough to entice a homeless person into their guest bedroom.
It's the insurance that's earned as compensation, not the birth control. However, if birth control is something that my doctor and I decide I want or need, it's not so much that I'm entitled to it but that I've PAID FOR IT AND SHOULD GET IT. Know why we need it? Because genius' like you feeling entitled to "fast…
Because my employer compensates me, in part, with health insurance
Uh, I've been trying to get an IUD for a decade now. First doctor thought I was too young for it, other doctors blow off my request and push the pill instead. Maybe the question should be "Will IUDs Ever Catch on with Doctors in America?"
