Government buying isn't exactly capitalism, esp. when its buying as a legally created monopsony buyer for a large segment of the market.

Remove the application of political power from the equation and it might be the market, but absent the application of political power you wouldn't have the program to begin with and the government wouldn't be buying the drugs.
