I think it's brilliant.
Technologies are getting faster, but when people get sick it takes a while to see if they're getting better and you need to be careful with toxicology tests. In that six-year period, two years were negotiating between the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard and a drug company. They couldn't come to a deal and the guy had to move universities to do the experiment. So from six to three isn't all due to peace, love, sharing, and stuff but a lot is.
I think that in total, if this happens on a mammoth scale, you'll have dramatically decreased cost in time. And because we all share up front, pharma can't say I'm going to sell it to you, the health care system, for $100,000 because I paid for a lot of research on this. You'll say, no, we shared, we have the exact numbers, this only cost you this much. You should see a good argument from single payers to drive the costs of medicines down because we de-risk it for them.
