how is preventing pharma companies from price gouging going to impact doctors? they don't get that profit
seriously, whats being taken away from doctors
Price gouging is already illegal

Sure, but your patent system allows for monopolization of drugs
the guy who bought the rights to epipens and jacked the price up by some rediculous factor? iirc he later sold tickets to punch him in the face?
Point and case: cetirizine hydrochloride
Patented in America, not in Europe.
A decades old drug.
When I needed to purchase some while in America, it cost me 25 dollars for 10 pills
Back home, I can get 50 pills for 2 pounds.
Martin Shkreli, thats who I was thinking of
Looks like the free market provided
>Alternative
because we don't have a rash of drug "alternatives" leading to deaths right now
25 dollars uninsured

"Epipen" is a brand name ... emergency epinephrine injectables has always been a thing on the cheap

Another example of privatization being better is optometry
Eye surgeries used to cost tens of thousands
and can save even more money by not buying the fancy auto-injectors .... metered doses work just fine, i promise
Now they cost fractions of that
Shut up, Nigger @wotmaniac
Well then
???
>Shame the same hasn't applied to cetirizine hydrochloride
>Free market hasn't worked there
