That's Big Pharma, motherfucker.
Like, sorry, I know you don't like the economics of it, but that's the world we're in.
And the only reason this even exists the way it does now...
Globally is the same way too.
Globally, all these price controls exist.
The only reason pharma companies are as successful as they are is because they price gouge the fuck out of the US.
So rebuilding that system is going to create an innovation disaster zone.
There's just no question about it.
I'll give you a very,
There's a very boring reason why that won't work, but it's like just institutionally, it's really annoying.
But like the truth of the matter is for big pharma companies, they just toss cash at like markets that are already really saturated.
It's like diabetes and shit like that.
The big pharma will invest billions into making a drug that's incrementally better than the previous one, which is purely based on profit incentive.
But they had a, they had a,
benefit to people of like shit just kept getting better because they wanted to sell it but the government is not going to pay a big pharma company to make something that's already really good incrementally better that will go away so that's another piece of this where it's like right now that profit incentive competition is what creates such good drugs
that profit incentive competition getting taken away is now going to make it, the government will go, well, no, just go after this novel thing.
And what they don't realize is R&D is a bunch of things that don't work and a couple that do.
So a lot of it's wasted cash.
So it's all these things where it's like, nobody's thinking about this, but it is a massive fucking problem.
And it really is going to be a huge issue if they go forward with this kind of plan.
