The feds should be producing generic drugs in the states:
- ensures supply
- ensures quality
- creates jobs
- fills gaps for drugs that are no longer profitable
- contributes to national security
- creates competition
- lowers costs
In a free market, people would be able to get any drug they like.
I’m presuming that over-regulation in the wrong way might be the cause here. But the problem is, markets carrying necessities tend to exploit customers when there’s no competition, so I’m not sure that deregulation should be the move either.
In a free market, people can get any drug that provides sufficient profit margins to justify the market producing it. If scarcity needs to be induced to bring the profit margins up to an acceptable level… the market is free to do so.
Don’t blame capitalism, blame the people who abuse an under-developed social system.
Capitalism isn’t the problem. Communism isn’t the problem. People are the problem. The system of government is merely an ineffective solution, but any other solution won’t be a magic pill unless it addresses the people problem.
Congratulations, you just described capitalism.
It’s not a government system, it’s an economic one.
