Here's support for his comment: https://cepr.net/we-can-develop-new-drugs-without-patent-monopolies-54217/ https://cepr.net/we-can-develop-new-drugs-without-patent-mon... > While drug companies do operate to make a profit, the part of the story that Nisen misses is that the profit does not have to be gained through patent monopolies. Suppose that the U.S. and other governments put up research funding, which private corporations like Gilead could bid on based on their expertise and track record. In this case, a condition of the research is that all patents would be in the public domain (the companies were already paid for their work) and all results would be fully public as soon as practical. The above comes from Dean Baker, who seems to be confident and credentialed. https://cepr.net/staff-member/dean-baker/ https://cepr.net/staff-member/dean-baker/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Baker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Baker
