Patents should never be awarded for life saving drugs.

They are a lot more affordable because the generic drug manufacturers didn't pay for the research and development. They're taking the product of someone else's hard work, voting it, and selling it for less. That's easy when you didn't spend money developing the drug. There had to be some profit in making drugs if you want companies to do it but what I'm saying is that that should not be unlimited.

Like I said...if the research GND development is publicly funded then the drug should be public and we should pay enough for it to pay for the research into the next drug. Socialism.

If a company pays for the research and development then they should be allowed to make their investment back with reasonable but not unlimited profit and not forever. Limited capitalism.
