“The Federal government needs to be totally removed from medicine”
So can I assume Article I, Section 8 patents for drugs are out?
Those 100% Constitutional patents are responsible for about 80% of the pre-PPACA pre-existing condition exclusions.
Patents for drugs are in the Constitution and are part of Patent law. Patents without other government interference ensure that the originating company can pay for its research. It is not directly related to medicine insofar as it governs inventions generally. Any detailed system, no matter how rationally and carefully thought out cannot anticipate the market and must have the same end- raised prices and less access.
