>It regulates costs for pharmaceuticals and medical equipment. This is an underappreciated requirement if we want to significantly lower costs. Drug patents, medical device patents and illogical government regulations imposed by corrupt and incompetent regulators lead to massive costs for patients. Allowing drug to charge hundreds or thousands of dollars for a dose of a drug that costs .50 cents to manufacture is an atrocity. This is doubly true since a large portion of medical research that these patents rely on is done by publicly funded research at universities and research clinics. Patent laws need to be completely rewritten to allow for a decent return on investment while disallowing price gouging. |
