He claims that profits is what causes new drugs to be invented and that with less profit incentive, then less drugs will be invented. The he implies that more people theoretically die because medicines aren't invented.

It's profit motive, free market nonsense. It doesn't make sense because profits go to the company owner. The people who invent drugs receive a wage. Also many drugs are invented through government research and then sold to private owners.
