The small tweak = new patent loophole is easy to solve with patent abuse reform. The sting of the reduced profit margin by stopping patent abuse can be offset by making prizes for making stuff generic bigger than the profits they would get from patent abuse.

The job loss from transition to single payer is a tougher problem, but I would rather just rip that bandaid off than keep a lot of unnecessary insurance jobs around.
