Profit is not equivalent to effort, that's naive. Profit occurs as much from inaction as it does action. Profit is exploitation of needs or wants, which isn't necessarily evil. Evil is having the power to stop suffering easily without harming yourself but choosing to seek profits instead (e.g. insulin prices). Just as we have regulations (e.g. patents) to protect business's profitability, we should have equal regulations to protect the public need.
