Thought I'd see how many people would catch my error in arithmetic. (Nobody has called it to my attention in three plus hours.) Of course, ten percent of 1.5 million is 150,000, 12 months at $60.00 per month is $720 per year, so that is only $108 million a year spent on Eldepryl if my assumptions are correct. That's still bigger than the amount that the Udall bill would have set aside for Parkinson's research, so the point is the same. And I don't know if my assumptions are right or not - but methinks them to be a bit on the low side. If so, this only strengthens the case. By the time other medications are considered and the rest of the world is thrown in, the amount spent on medications for Parkinson's might well prove to be well over that $1,080 million anyway.
