No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

I believe that drug(medicine) should be cheap. Not only because a lot of people are barley able to survive in this economy but because we do not have a health care system we have an illness system. People do not pay attention to how sick you are and how much you cant afford to get the treatment you need until you are nearly dead. This shows exactly why the health care system needs an update not only in the prices of 'drugs ' but also in different types of treatments and tests and medicine that stops people from becoming sick and needing surgery.

Rights of the people to property and pursuit of happiness are in the bill of rights and with that lucrative compensation should be granted to the creators of necessary goods. Incentive is as paramount characteristic to a thriving society. But, Lucrative compensation should still be subject to financial responsibility. Creators should be able to cover costs, compensate and plan for the next endeavor. When those are met, patents should favor the consumer.
