There are better ways - you don't have to be a communist to think that the organisation of trials and research should be independent of big pharma and accountable to government and the people. The government are our elected representatives. Most big companies are unelected profiteering sharks. The interests of the shareholders - who actually are the shareholders? I don't own any shares. Do you? On my salary I am never likely to own shares. This is all Ayn Rand's fault (lol). I, for one, will NEVER welcome our executive overlords.
