Online Class Notes (Nicholas)(S)

I think the winning percentage is relatively good for myself / my winning percentage is really high/strong – winning in at the poker – I started learning poker when I was young – when I was in primary school – one of my favorite teachers taught me – yeah its very interesting we play the pokers poker everyday in the at lunch time – No I don’t think so – it’s about your personality – I don’t like arguments / I don’t like to argue

I think because of the nature of human beings everyone is selfish they need some incentive to do innovation innovate. And I think the Pharma industry is special – its not the same as other industries because  it is related to people’s life lives – maybe I think the patents could be covered by the govt. For China its not realistic because there’s too many peoples. So at the current stage the china Chinese / China’s  government should encourage the companies to produce the cheaper drugs – but I dont know whether this is effective because the quality of the generic drugs cannot be practiced now….we will see in maybe 5 year or 10 years later.

The problem for China’s healthcare industry is that there are too many patients and there are little too few  doctors and hospitals and people all go to the big cities looking for the good hospitals and doctors.
