- white-flame 10y agoIt's not a free market if you're not allowed to import from cheaper suppliers elsewhere, so that's already broken.
- rayiner 10y agoPermitting imports also undermines the market if it extends the scope of the market to include areas where government intervention (e.g. aggressive negotiation by national health systems) drives prices below efficient levels.
- ThomPete 10y agoBut then at least as a company you know that.
- koolba 10y agoA free market requires price discovery. That's sorely lacking for the majority of the US healthcare industry. Doesn't matter if it's a pill, a check up, or an x-ray, good luck figuring out what it's going to cost you in advance.
