It’s a nice thought, just not a practical one. However, corruption could be rooted out by transparency and competition and that would make things better for everyone except the corrupt.

That is what occurs when your precious government continues to allow these companies to patent drugs. Patent laws kill people.

Capitalism can work, but yes we need to regulate pricing ✌️ I support govt research funding for prospective drugs which can be incredibly expensive & risky I also support setting prices based on need & reasonable profit

This is due to a public private partnership. Profit motive is not the problem per se. We used to grow cheap but less pure insulin by harvesting animal pancreases. Now it is recombant DNA which is very difficult and expensive to do and get approved. FDA actively bans competition.

A health care system that doesn’t make a profit...goes out of business.

The @DNC does not seemingly really wish to CHANGE SUCH = instead they want to throw money at such and they penalized people who did not wish to pay into it - as they did under past admins! Tragic Corruption.
