One of the few Bernie ideas that I liked was to completely rework the IP laws concerning patents on prescription drugs.
Normally I am against this for pretty much everything in general, if you create it and patent it, it should be yours to do with as you please. But for medicine though, the patents should be opened up and other companies should be allowed to make and distribute it. This in turn gives competition for that drug driving the price down. Of course the one or ones that came up with the original patent should still get a kickback from all those that make it.
