single payer system and drug price caps/cuts
We need a single payer
system because our current profit based system is not working. This won't
happen. What can happen is price caps on drugs.
Case in point: it is ridiculous
that pharmaceutical companies can add a radical to an insulin “molecule” whose patent is about to expire, call it a new
drug and jack the price of this “new” drug.
I am not on insulin yet and resent the thought that I will some day be
treated like a fucking cash cow!
If Congress can not or
will not cap or cut drug costs, then we should be allowed to buy drugs from
foreign sources. The objection will be that the FDA needs to protect us from
those nasty foreign drugs. Aren’t we importing foreign made drugs as it is?
Must we be forever
subject to nanny state agencies pimping for the uber rich pharm CEOs?
