About one-third of the 40 million elderly and disabled people on Medicare have no insurance for drug expenses, even though drug companies are continually developing costly, effective new medicines to treat the elderly.
While the same arguments apply to phage resistance, fitness of bacteria surviving the phage treatment might have decreased over time if bacteria phage coevolution resulted in bacteria continually evolving costly resistance (Buckling et al. 2006; Forde et al. 2008; Poullain et al. 2008).
Dr. Huosheng Hu of the University of Essex has a rather elegant solution: setting loose a fleet of robotic fish to continually monitor water quality, without the costly man-hours of sending marine scientists out on boats.
Wilpon's comments at a news conference on Thursday indicated that the hierarchy had concluded that continually filling holes from outside was not only costly -- the Mets' $120 million payroll is the second highest in baseball -- but also self-destructive, because signing free agents continually cost the team draft choices.

Why should corporate IT departments rely on the costly, time-intensive maintenance of heavy infrastructure and continually reinvent the wheel to create powerful applications?
Minimize the number of items in your bag that require electricity, especially those that need to be plugged in continually rather than briefly to recharge, as converters can be costly and space-consuming.
Whilst these approaches formed the foundations of knowledge and understanding in microorganism research, these methods are very time consuming, costly and labour intensive, hence more rapid detection methods are continually needed [14].
While nonlinear machine methods have been widely used in environmental forecasting, in situations where new data arrive continually, the need to make frequent model updates can become cumbersome and computationally costly.
The decision to continually retain or return gifted experts ('Experten') to front line battle proved extremely costly, resulting in the death in combat of many of the earlier experts and aces.
