While I support IP for individuals, I don’t support it for large companies and definitely not for drug companies.

I understand the money involved in making drugs, but you should not be able to monopolize a life saving drug and charge exorbitant money for it. Most of the initial drug research is done by scientists not associated with drug company.

    Like I said…if the research GND development is publicly funded then the drug should be public and we should pay enough for it to pay for the research into the next drug. Socialism.

    If a company pays for the research and development then they should be allowed to make their investment back with reasonable but not unlimited profit and not forever. Limited capitalism.

      No, don’t you see? Companies should spend billions of dollars developing a drug and just give it away at cost.

        Straw man. Come back when you’re not going to use childish devices and are ready to have a real discussion.
