All would come with the problem that the companys stop investing into research. This would be compensatable by government funded research, but it would be a very large restructuring.

I think its ok for them to hold patents for some medicine, as long as they sell it for a reasonable price. Those patents however should expire after like 5 years.

Why do you think that medication patents are a bad thing?
