I bet you pat yourself on the ass every time you think you've won.Every time you guys deflect back to Obama or Clinton I know I've won.That may be true. But I remember Obamacare promises.We subsidize the shit outta pharmacological research. The claim they lose money if they can't sell drugs at ridiculous prices is a lie.Agreed. Willow's posts are on point, however, that with the tax, pharma may not make as many new drugs, and lifespans may decrease. Her willingness to trust a market that has failed, however, makes her solutions … failures.
I think the question is how can govt protect US consumers and still make sure Americans have access to new drugs. And had Trump not worried about the EU trade balance and addressed this issue, we'd be better off.
Past failures do not excuse current failures nor is it a reason to do nothing.
First rule of policy making... do no harm. Obama care did harm. The system is worse now, than it was before Obama screwed it over.
Past failure ABSOLUTELY ARE A REASON to do nothing. Nothing is far better than making it worse.
