Do you think that the more profit available to pharma, the more capable the workers attracted to the field will be? And therefore the faster results will be achieved? I don’t mean just the bench scientists, but all the other people - programmers, lawyers, managers, fabrication engineers, supply chain ops, etc - required to take an idea from paper to mass production. Having worked in biotech startups myself I understand how inefficient the current system is, but at the same time I can’t foresee a better one.

None of this speaks to the social cancer that is corporations draining the society they function in. Individuals are expected to sacrifice and pull together, do the research, finance pharma production, give away patents, and yet the big pharmaceutical sits back and drains all of this into their stock. It's just not right.
Let them make a profit when we are thriving not while everyone else is suffering and making sacrifices.
