I honestly didn't even read the story. I was responding to your comment: "Let's start by doing away with granting exclusive patents for drugs"
The whole point of patents is that they are exclusive for a limited amount of time.
Are drugs expensive? Yes. Do drug companies gouge consumers? Yes. I'm not sure how to fix that. Stifling innovation isn't the best way. (Not that there's a tremendous amount f innovation going on in the drug industry today.)
