disagree. the manufacturer has earned his right to those patents through original research. much unlike any other industry, pharma needs to prove its product are indeed working and safe. this is not sugar water. real science, to the core. the failure lies in the process afterwards. how healthcare is disbursed, how it is allocated. especially in the US. if a country negotiates a price, as a single payer, everything looks quite different. and curing Hep C? it is cheaper overall, in the longterm, to have productive tax payers who live a long, healthy life. paying net in, rather than needing constant care. big hope: alzheimers as the next big target. cancers will take longer, so many things lurking in that bucket term.
