There are many possible solutions. The first would be for the government to behave like a normal investor: Give money for stock or give a loan instead of writing blank cheques. The blank cheque at least could have disallowed any sort of patents. This is quite ridiculous: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/23/science/moderna-covid-vaccine-patent-nih.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/23/science/moderna-covid-vac...

"Give money for stock" Wouldn't that distort the competitive landscape for the other participants, though? If I were running a business where one of the main customers was the government, shouldn't I be lobbying for the government to take a stake in me, and me only?
