Then Canada goes back to its old system before the current one: Compulsory Licensing.

Anyone can manufacture any patented drug and just pay the patent holder an x% royalty.

It works ok for playing songs on the radio.

Sounds reasonable to me. I'd be in favor of such a system.

I think if the US were importing large quantities of drugs, they would be forced to move to that system.

But if you think that there is the political will to do so, I think that could work out rather well.

Thanks.

The best part about the system is that it uses big corp’s Hollywood accounting against them.

Oh, per your US tax return, we see that you earned 0.4% profit on your US sales last year. You’d be fine with a 1% royalty after we sell it for half price, right?

That would be awesome.
