I think you are making the case for single payer. The government has much more power to reign in the pharma/medical industry. See the linked article on Doctor salaries.
- pfisch 8y agoGovernment's have power to reign in industries until those industries get too large and entrench themselves within the government. Look at the biggest industries in any free country and you can see it replay over and over again around the world. Our problem unlike the rest of the world is that pharma and medical is our industry. That is the main reason our prices are crazy compared to everyone else.
