At one time I probably would have agreed with you. Over time I finally realized that if I rely on: (1) someone else to develop medications that are necessary for me to have a "normal" life (whatever that even means anymore), and (2) a government to dictate the price of those medications, then I'm not really a free man at all. This country was founded by men who probably would have considered this whole scenario repulsive.
I know it sounds ludicrous, but then there's a reason why the Amish never worry about these things.
I’ll end by saying that the model we’re stuck with is not working and it must be changed as poor Americans and even the lower middle Americans cannot sustain this current model. Drug companies cannot keep being allowed to sell drugs to foreign nations at below rock bottom prices but expect Americans to subsidize the unfair practice. That’s plain nuts. Have a good one my friend.
