A sign of our times? Clinical Trial out sourcing..

we've been outsourcing forever....clinical trials almost always start abroad...by the time they get to Phase 11 or 111 they come over here...FDA has tighter controls here. Insurance companies won't pay for trial drugs....I wonder why it just now caught their attention.
