While the goal of ensuring access to essential medications like insulin is commendable, the approach of federal price setting carries significant economic drawbacks. It can disrupt market dynamics, stifle innovation, compromise quality, and lead to inefficiencies that could ultimately hinder rather than help the very people it aims to serve.
Hmmm. Said like an evangelist for capitalism. Your position makes sense for a world of market capitalism. There are morally defensible positions that work to take the capitalism out of healthcare. Your position, however just smells bad.
Without capitalism, things like Dexcom, Tresiba, and most insulin pumps would be nonexistent… health is a personal choice, morals are not part of an individual’s decision on how to treat their disease.
you missed my point , I guess. We don’t absolutely have to live with the American brand of capitalism. It’s unsustainable. It’s time we move beyond. And what we have now is certainly not morally defensible. When we stop living by morals, civilizations fall. Would you be OK testing pancreas transplants in monkeys to make it safer for humans?

True capitalism isn’t the American brand, at least not in its current form.
