Taiwann violating Patents

Actually, I wouldn’t fault governemnt for violating patents on health related issues - Health care costs have skyrocketed, and no cures are coming forth like they used do - rather there’s always a drug, or treatment that will help you feel better that you’ll have to pay for for the rest of your life.

While i understand the research costs involved - anyone who took Paxil and then got off of this non addictive drug with no side effects can tell you that the research isn’t as effective as it’s made out to be. And leads me to wonder if the costs are actually overstated to generate more profit.
