Tech Central Station profiles Michael Milken's FasterCures initiative: "Going forward, it's worth keeping an eye on FasterCures to see whether researchers are using these findings to spur a wave of innovation in industries currently hampered by a lack of funding, gaps in public awareness or government over-regulation. The pace of innovation does not have to be dependent on federal government dollars flowing to centralized research institutions. As the example of FasterCures shows, thinking about problems in new ways and then tapping into resources at the 'edge' of an industry can often lead to innovation that is faster, cheaper and more relevant." Socialization, centralization and over-regulation of medicine is a very serious problem with very serious consequences for those affected by it - it must be fought.
