what companies?
they dont have ot sell their medical supplies in the us
They literally do though
But if you say increase the supply of doctors or a factor of production, this will reduce prices without shortages.
they dont though
Sanders wants price controls.
controlling price fucks the free market
Sanders wants precription drugs to be sold at a reasonable price
and guess what
Via price controls.
trump is pushing a bill through for that
The issue is he's not tackling the reason *why they're expensive in the first place*.
Trump is allowing imports from other countries, that will definitely help.
Drug producers and pharmacies can afford that
It's not about affording, it's about the fact their ROR decreases.
supplies
and demand
There's an incentive, lowering prices forcefully ends that.
the cheaper the more supply is taken
(Trump is also also cutting red tape to increase FDA approval of generic drugs, it's shown it's effect on prices as of late)
the more supply is taken the less there is for everyone who needs it
They will have to accept that
They will, but they'll cut drug production.
That means less access to drugs, which can prove fatal.
yea the fda is being forced to let generic prescription drugs through
creating competition
There will always be product as long as there is demand
no longer will large pharma lobby to not allow generics through
Nobody is denying that, just there is now a *disequilibirum*
Have you heard that word before? That means in this case demand outweighs supply, we have a **shortage** of drugs.
You're saying because of the losses pharmacy companies will get they will cut drug production for the US?
Yes.
highly unlikely
like seriously have you looked at how many times lobbyist have kept generic versions of life saving drugs from going through khalid.
It happens in Europe.
Sorry but i dont believe drug shortage is something that would be widespread in the US
for instance insulin
The real problem is people not affording drugs they need
Here is a study: "For patented drugs, external price referencing may encompass the largest impact on drug shortages. For generic medicines, internal or external reference pricing, tendering as well as price capping may affect drug shortages.
Manufacturing/quality requirements also contribute to drug shortages, since non-compliance leads to recalls. The influence of parallel trade on drug shortages is still rather disputable." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0273230015000069
