The system isn't bad just because you don't like their business decisions. I think the advertising budget is completely unrelated to the issue of patents.
If you want to argue against the fact that patent protection is needed for drugs just show some examples of recently approved drugs that are not patented, or that were brought to market by non-profits.
The safety and efficacy studies are both expensive and likely to fail, and I think there should either be public funding or patent protection for the company that bears this cost and risk.
