I think it is past time to reform the Orphan Drug Act. It is open to exploitation by bad actors (Martin Shkreli, etc.), and the problem seems to only be getting worse. While we are at it, we should expand the act to try and help address the problem that treatments are less profitable than cures.

We also need to start putting in sunset provisions in laws of this nature. Governmental intervention in the economy should have mandated expiration/review dates.
