So let me get this straight, TYT is bashing the profit-and-loss system for resulting in the development of a fantastic drug that will improve everyone's lives? How many more decades would it have taken to develop this drug if Bayer hadn't seen an opportunity for future profits, and responded? How many orders of magnitude of a cunt does the CEO of Bayer need to be in order to cancel out the amazing benefits that his company is providing to society?

As far as the whole patent stuff, you'll be pleased to know that most free-market advocates are against strict laws concerning intellectual property, and one of the reasons is that they result in monopolies like this that make things like drugs so costly to people.
