Reply #3: More grants to Universities to do Research...

...would be the way to get the job done, if the big pill companies aren't doing it.

To nationalize the pharmaceutical companies would be difficult and
very expensive. They are multinational corporations. We cannot
nationalize what is outside our jurisdiction. Our Constitution also
requires that fair market value be paid when the government seizes
private property. The combined market cap of the pharmaceutical
industry is somewhere in the trillions.

It would be cheaper for the government to go into competition with
them, than to do eminent-domain on the industry.

Big Pill has a money reason NOT to seek total cures, only to seek mild pills that keep a disease going with milder symptoms.

How would they keep some not-so-big pill company or some university
lab from inventing a cure?

Some say they have detected such behavior by Big Pill.

Many have become skeptical of what "some people say".

Are there patents that they have bought up and refused to market?
Such things would be a matter of public record, and would strengthen
your case considerably.
