Again, maybe some, if not many of the deadlier illnesses (i.e. cancer, aids, etc.) for which we don't have a cure, will have a single way of being healed. Now, as I said earlier, patent the drug and you have exclusive rights to it for 20 years to do with whatever. No one else can produce it, nothing. So... WHAT free market economy there? Please illustrate to me how your system would work under these conditions. And remember, this is a business that is the only one that can produce something that is extremely needed by many people. Do you honestly believe they will drive down their price and allow everyone use of it, cause I sure as hell don't. Businesses and ncesseities (and I mean actual necessities) DO NOT MIX. |
Without free market you wouldn't have a cure to begin with, as no one would take the risk without the reward. So it takes 20 years for the poor to have access to it. Better then the rich and poor never having access to it.
Edit: when I say rich, I really mean the 85% of the country that can afford it. Not just the rich.
