Switzerland doesn't lead the world in pharmaceutical development. Our health system has been captured by special interests specifically because we have let it grow so big.
Whenever I bring up this point I see downvotes. What I would love instead is a counter example of a country whose largest economic sectors do not capture the government and then have a huge hand in dictating policy in those sectors.
Our government intervention in the education market with student loans is just an awful system that encourages prices to continue to rise.

- benj111 8y agoI think you're getting downvotes because the 2 aren't mutually exclusive. You can lead the world in pharma and have it captured by special interests. Infact I would say its almost inevitable. Now that's not to say that your point about it being bad isn't legitimate.
