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."

Khalid it already happens in Europe, it's supply & demand.

khalid do you not realise what we're saying

we're sayign the reason prices are so high

is cause singular companies control what the fda allows

And that's a problem

and trump by deregulating that

The main causes of high prices for drug which Sanders doesn't tackle
