It's always funny to see how the land of the "free" and free market" is not very "free market" when it comes to protecting the profits of favored industries like medical even from its own citizens. Things like being required to go to a doctor and pay big $$$ to get a hearing aid or not being allowed to import drugs from countries where they are cheaper are absolutely not "free market". Even during COVID the country could not deploy cheap rapid tests but only super expensive PCR tests.
