you forget the way corporations rationalize their greed... at the sake of the general public.
ok... let's get rid of the fda.. which is what browne wants to do... then every single big pharma will have absolutely no blockade to pre-releasing their drugs to a unbeknowest section of the public in order to do public clinical trials.
and don't even think for a minute that the corporations will be a) caught or b) held accountable, in this situation.
the fda, as of right now, is in horrible shape, having to recall many drugs due to their being rushed to market before proper testing is done.
my vote against libertariansim all comes down to knowing that greedy people don't play nice...

You seemed to have left out all of the regulatory agencies that the LP wants to dump:
dept of education
dept housing/urban dev
SEC
FDA
privitize education?
dump the urban dev dept?
if one was starting from scratch, this overly idealized system might work dandy...
but we're not, and it won't.
