I disagree, the problem is with the public and the government above all.
There is economic consensus on healthcare costs already. Pharma is one of the biggest by far.
This is an interesting thing for me as non-american, because both Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul blame the limitation of pharma for very high expenses in the american economy. They are opposite spectrums for state action but both agree on the same issue, and neither has consensus to solve the problem.
Why? Because it has to be politically unprofitable for everyone else in the middle to say "We are going to open up importations and lose a bunch of pharma jobs". That I put on the public.
- maxxxxx 9y agoDon't fall into the trap of finding the one player to blame. Insurances, doctors, hospitals, labs, pharma, they all make very good money off this insane system and have no interest in change.
