"Republicans generally want the free market to work things out",
-- why is the GOP so against people getting medicine from other safe countries, and 2. not allow medicare/medicaid to be able to negotiate prices?
They are basically both hampering competition where they can, and not allowing the gov. to be able to negotiate.
I am sorry but your comment doesn't hold water...
- gridlockd 6y agoIf you let the government "negotiate" prices, that is not a free-market solution. Furthermore, Medicaid/Medicare is itself not a free-market solution and most Americans do not qualify for it. In fact, hospitals are running huge losses on these programs and they have to cross-subsidize it by charging other patients more. As for banning imported drugs, this is a bipartisan issue, both parties have called for allowing it, but both parties are effectively against it.
