Reply #8: Nationalize them.

[hunter]

Transfer all their drug research to public universities and open source all their products and research.

Let further drug research be directed by medical necessity, not by potential profit.

The only thing influencing the cost of drugs would be the difficulty of the synthesis.

Pharmaceutical corporate executives would have to find real jobs after they are released from prison, maybe something like shoveling shit at an Alaskan chicken farm, hiding out from all the people they screwed over and the families of those they killed.

Nope, they'll say as they wipe the cold sweat of fear from their brows, I was never the CEO of a Pharmaceutical Company. I've always been a chicken shit shoveler. Why do you ask?

I hate these unethical corporate bastards and I support a corporate death penalty.

Try them, convict them, take away their charters, and nationalize them at 50 cents on the dollar. Make their CEOs do a perp walk wearing orange suits and handcuffs as they are marched away into obscurity.
