Of course taking the profit out of big Pharmaceuticals it's going to lead to less and less innovation. The law of unexpected consequences. 1 old saw from the left asks if we give methadone to heroin addicts for free why isn't chemotherapy free for everybody? That's because they come out with new and better forms of chemotherapy every year. It's constantly changing constantly getting easier on the body and costantly getting more effective.
