PS to Bob
I meant to add that paying these fines doesn't hurt most big pharma companies; I think there are times when they may even budget for such things. But it is most definitely reflected in the price of drugs.
It may be that you feel it's the "principal of it," but I suggest that it only gives more control to the sponsors who pass the cost of fighting in court onto the patients by upping med prices. We have the power together (people with Parkinson's), to bring about change in this area
