So the purchasing power of a state entity - exactly the solution I proposed for the US. The state has subtle levers of control over all the participants in this industry, which other players (no matter how large) simply don't have. This is not an objection to using single-payer in the US, quite the contrary.

No, it’s the ability of the govt to go beyond purchasing power to “I just changed a law that defines how much we pay you for your other drugs, tough”.
