Patients will lose access to the best healthcare system in the world, and the long-term costs of an unhealthier population will far outweigh whatever temporary spending reprieve price controls might bring.

You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. And the end result will be more equity! (Choir sings when that word is said.)

If governments didn’t require insurance companies to pay for expensive drugs, very few drugs would sell for more than $10,000/year.

Many drugs are so pricey that they have no free market value whatsoever. Drug companies are only able sell these drugs because the state/federal law requires insurers to pay for them.
