If your point is that the US government is tantalizingly close to being able to throw its weight around and drop healthcare prices a bunch with only minimal changes in policy and law, due in large part to its very-high spending on healthcare, but is just choosing not to, I agree.
[edit] apologies if I’ve misunderstood, though—the above is not intended as one of those “rephrase your point into something you definitely weren’t saying” sarcastic things people do sometimes, I’m really trying to follow along.
- willcipriano 2y agoIf you look at the investment portfolios of politicians you'll quickly understand why there is no interest in using Medicare to reduce prices. Watch a single commercial break during the nightly news to understand why they will never cover it, drug companies are half their advertisers (more worrying a quarter of them sell bombs) Reimports of drugs produced in the United States back from Canada are prohibited for safety reasons. You know because those Canadians are famous for tampering with drugs for unclear reason and benefit. It's all a farce.
