"People are not necessarily comfortable with the price of medicine dropping?" Sorry, which planet are you from? Earth, you say? The US even? People in your country would do anything (and have) for affordable medicine.
- afarrell 8y agoA world where people don't have a good way to judge the quality of medical services and so they use price as a proxy for quality. Here is a 2-minute video where a very popular speaker explains the position, to the agreement of a large crowd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPsfo8-FhB0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPsfo8-FhB0
- magduf 8y agoNo, they won't. As comments above pointed out, Americans will sue when something goes wrong and it's found that the medical provider didn't use the most expensive option available. And Americans do NOT do what they can to obtain affordable medicine: if they wanted this, they'd be demanding laws to rein in costs, to provide socialized medicine, etc., just like most other developed nations have already done. Instead, we got ObamaCare, and half our population wants it to be repealed.
