John Cornyn recently said he fears drug companies may be "gaming" America's patent system. According to Texas's senior U.S. senator, some firms are making insignificant tweaks to drug formulas and then filing new patents on the upgraded medicines.

Sen. Cornyn cited recent increases in the price of insulin as proof of this alleged gaming. And he urged his colleagues to consider changing patent laws to prevent such abuse.

  My longtime friend and colleague Dr. Thomas Sowell has just published a revised and enlarged edition of "Discrimination and Disparities." It lays waste to myth after myth about the causes of human differences not only in the United States but around the globe. Throughout the book, Sowell shows that socioeconomic outcomes differ vastly among individuals, groups and nations in ways that cannot be easily explained by any one factor, whether it's genetics, sex or race discrimination or a history of gross mistreatment that includes expulsion and genocide.

More Americans are beating cancer than ever before. Cancer mortality rates have plummeted 27 percent in the past quarter-century, according to the American Cancer Society.

This trend is no accident. Drug companies have invented hundreds of breakthrough therapies, many of which stop cancer in its tracks. A majority of these medicines have been invented in the United States.
