Um... doesn't the private sector pay that with their own money that funds these universities (be it student loans, government loans, or private loans... all of which the student will have to repay back anyway)...Originally Posted by Total_Blender
I just told you, perhaps I should have broken it down into little pieces for you so you can chew it.
The reason we have better statistics on cancer survivability is that we have all of the research universities that come up with the innovative methods for detection and treatment of diseases. Government funded, government operated.
If the "private sector" were so "innovative," why haven't they cured cancer, aids, etc yet?
after all, a person who goes to Emory does have to pay their own way in for their education... or the person going in for their Ph.D has to pay their way in... yes there are grants that go to these people, but that is for their education for the future success that these people will bring to the overall wellness of the communities they'll serve. Also, I'd be curious to see how much money these research universities get from the government versus the upper middle class to the upper class of the private sector. I'm willing to bet that they get far more funding from the private sector than they do government programs.
