Its not capitalism, its anti capitalism. Its fda approval and stuff that makes these prices so high, they're way cheaper in other countries, and if it was legal to import them they'd be as cheap in the us
You're absolutely incorrect about this. The answer is uneqivocally profit. It's exactly the logical outcome of capitalism. Blaming it on the FDA is wild.
??? Are you implying a company selling a bottle of insulin (randomly chosen) in the US makes LESS money than the same company selling that insulin in Germany?
No of course, they're making way more money in the US, but that has nothing to do with capitalism with capitalism. They would make exactly the same amount of money corrected for supply and demand. But when you start imposing arbitrary limitations on imports and exports , because regulation , then there are massive discrepancies between prices across jurisdictions
My g... they manufacture a lot of the meds here that they sell here... how deep into the kool-aid are you??
Just the fact you recognized they make a wide margin more in profits here but you blame other things for the high prizes is gobsmacking. They can, at any time, decrease their total gained profits per sale by decreasing the cost to the consumer and STILL be making metric tons worth of money
People are quite literally dying because they cant afford these meds, meanwhile in other countries people are getting these meds on demand and at 1/10th of the cost.
I do gotta ssy though i respect the amount of work youve put in to become this dumb.
