I don’t get what point you are trying to make. If the people of a country want the lowest prices for medicine, they can pay for them via taxes, and that includes clinical trials. Then there would be no middleman with a patent to collect profit. If taxpayers do not want the risk, then of course they will have to compensate businesses to take the risk. And there is no “nationalizing”. The government paying for clinical trials and FDA approval does not preclude pharmaceutical businesses from doing the same.
