I am interested why governments are not setting up national drug production companies.

Cheap healthcare products ensures more productive society, that needs less spend on healthcare and pays more taxes.

National businesses do not care for being profitable and will keep prices in check for monopoly profiteers, but probably not be lean enough to kill private generics businesses.

The correct answer, indeed. Healthcare, education, trains, etc. don’t need to make a profit. Central planning can choose to produce for need, instead.
