You’re sounding rather aggressive. It seems reasonable that if I finance X% of something, I get to enjoy X% of it. Or Y%, adjusted for non-monetary investment

You’re sounding rather aggressive.
It seems reasonable that if I finance X% of something, I get to enjoy X% of it. Or Y%, adjusted for non-monetary investment by someone else.
It seems strange that the state finances (drug development) research, the companies say “cheers” and proceed to keep all the profits.
Such profits could for example go towards universal health care improvements.
- mhb 5y agoMaybe we want different things from the US government and its health care system. I'd like to optimize health outcomes. You have some proposals. Can you explain how they lead to something better than the status quo? What are the unintended consequences? Do drug companies invest in less drug development if they get X% less from developing drugs? Have you taken this into account in your advocacy for enjoying the X%? Or maybe you have a different objective?
