I'm happy to see that Pfizer is having some success with Lipitor. Drug trials show that it is highly successful in cutting the risk of a heart attack in some diabetic patients. Reuters notes that the trial was so successful that they ended them early to allow all patients in the trial to have access to the drug.

Now, I can only hope that the government will allow Pfizer to profit from their innovation. Even though research and development of new drugs is extremely expensive, there are people out there that think drug companies shouldn't be allowed to sell their products on the free market. They assume that Pfizer and other drug companies will continue to pursue new treatments and cures, when they aren't permitted to benefit economically from their discoveries.
