The article uses a different definition of the word "subsidy" than I would. Specifically, I would hardly call $350 in Retirement Fund Bank Fees a "subsidy". Checking the references, I also don't see how the 1268 in increased prescription costs can be directly attributable to patents. A portion perhaps. And again not what I would call a subsidy. It also certainly does not come without a price (R&D) to the company.
