Sure, being able to afford medications is also a privileged position. But too often I see these sorts of dismissals of “just a few less new medications a year” without an acknowledgement of the real human costs that will be paid. Further I posit that the problem of “some people cannot afford some medications” should and does have a solution other than “all people will lose access to otherwise viable medications”
