Please, please, please do not hand the development of new drugs over to the government. Also, if you're going to make an odd blanket statement that ends up being a lynchpin of your argument like "patents in software are trivial" at least try to unpack it or back it up somehow. Microsoft (for example, via MSR) dumps a sh ton of $ into research to come up with some ideas that end up being software, so how is that different than the biotech scenario?
