You have to face the fact that, unless you propose to "nationalize" drugs companies, and let the taxpayer pay for R&D, then new drugs are not going to exist unless the manufacturer can make money from them. Developing a new drug takes many years, and 95% of them don't reach the market. Unless the manufacturer can recoup the cost of those 19 failed drugs through sales of the one successful one, then that enormously expensive R&D isn't going to happen!
