Without that $750, they won’t have the incentive (or money) for another $2,000,000,000 in R&D for the next drug.
Hard to quibble about the price of a lifesaving drug that DOESN’T EXIST BECAUSE YOU DISCOURAGED ITS CREATION.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

All those using the R & D argument fail to do the simple math. If a pill costs $50.00 and a million pills are sold per month times 12 months per year costs and profit would be recovered long before the patent protection expires. The $750 per pill price is simple greed.(In my hypothetical which is based upon a recent real world example.)

Number two; the argument 'I can do what I want with my property' is simply unreal as no legal system allows an owner to harm others with his property. I build a dam on my property that bursts and floods your land destroying your house, crops and animals, am I therefore free of any responsibility by interposing the idiot argument; 'it's my land and I can do what I please.'
