- simondotau 5y agoThe underlying cause of the problem of the "$200 asprin" isn't a fundamental problem of healthcare, it's a fundamental problem of the wacky health system of the USA which is—I assure you—the envy of no other first world country. While it is true that the US health system excels along certain narrow metrics (it's particularly well optimised for providing cutting edge care to the affluent) it is poorly optimised for serving the needs of the median citizen. And it's a dumpster fire when it comes to distribution and affordability. The solution exists, and that's to stop doing the broken thing.
