RE: Marketplace Story: Publicly funded research for a price

Huh, when I look at JAMA's subscription info, it says:

"Pricing proposals are calculated based on relevant full-time 
employees of the institution."

I can easily imagine the cost going into the thousands of dollars 
for a large institution. I can easily imagine being wrong, too, 
though.

Furthermore, they have the facts wrong about cost of a JAMA
subscription. It is still rather affordable for a weekly
publication at $125 for online and $165 for print+online for a
year, not "thousands of dollars."  Even an institutional
subscription for print+online is only $590.
