Big Pharma says it needs monopolies to get the money to pay for the large studies of the effects of drugs. Those studies are crucial but we must not allow pharma companies to play any role in them — because when they pay for studies, they corrupt the studies.

If we are wise, we will pay for those studies with public funds, too.

After all, it's our money either way, whether we pay it via the government or through the pharma companies.
