HEALTHCARE WILL SINGLEHANDEDLY COLLAPSE WESTERN CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT

Healthcare is a service rendered by one to another. Human rights afford an individual the freedom of expression, not the actions of another.

I mean simple solution would be
*Setting price caps for medical equipment and medicines*

But nah that would be too logical

@Aldomuz haha.

Haha.

That's so innovative.

The medication just falls out of the sky don't you know?

No production needed.

Scarcity? What's that?

Capitalist pig

🐷

You misunderstand

I love it when people talk economics when they haven't even opened a book.

I’ve opened plenty of books

"Just cap it"

It should be free

Medicines and medical equipment prices are outrageously markedup by closed door insurance discussions

"Supply and demand means nothing"

It's not.

When it comes to basic human rights, yes, it means nothing

It just isn't.

The price of a thing is set by the consumer.
A thing costs what a customer is willing to pay.

What is marking it up is the government regulations.

Set a cap on the markup, you don't need everyone to have it ~~keeping the scarcity mostly~~ and making it affordable

You people

Make me angry

That is assuming there is a markup. Which there isn't.

And you sir are an idiot then

It's simply regulation, administrative costs and research costs.

It's simple economics.

There is more money to be made if you sell things for cheaper.

Hurr markup doesn't exist
~~How do you think companies make profit dipstick?~~

You idiot.

Lower cost = more profit.

Because more people buy.

That's a part of it

But too low and you lose money.

Too high and nobody buys it.

Finally some logic from you
