Its a very good answer.

No... it didn't address any of this:

It would vastly reduce the cost of marketing/advertising. You watch TV right? How many ads do you see for drugs? It's ridiculous... and shows that the margins are out of the ballpark. Why? Because of government subsidizes of basic research. And in turn the drug companies subsidize the politicians political campaigns.
...
The marketplace IS the government. It's organized itself in the most efficient fashion to reduce cost... you should like that. The outlier is the US, which chooses not to participate in the efficient marketplace.
