We do not need to ensure that pharma earns competitive profits, we just need to not prohibit them from doing so. It is necessary for big pharma to be entitled to earn profits competitive with its competitors to (1) incentivize technological advancement, risk taking, and wealth and creation and (2) allow them to compete in the market place for alternative capital and debt sources.
