So research hospitals just get it all? Okay... aren't medical research hospitals part of the reason we had the crisis in the first place?

I think instead this should've been evenly distributed across every person in Oklahoma, in their tax returns. I kind of hate these closed-door institutions get these huge sums of money because some company did illegal stuff. It creates a weird web of incentives, imo.

Better than the government just getting it all though, I guess.
