The drug market has organized itself as a government market, everywhere but here. This is where we differ. It is precisely the other way around - Governments organized the drug market as a government market. Drug pricing - and pharma funding - was made, in too many respects NOT an economic, but a political issue. Unfortunately. Being different from other nations served America well. We with our ideas of limited government and private enterprise were able to accomplish in a short time more than other nations with their powerful centralized governments did over many more centuries. Nazi Reich and the Soviet Gulag are two (admittedly, extreme) examples of what may happen when nations allow politicians to become too powerful. Politicians who are not morally and intellectually corrupt recognize the importance of putting limits on their own power.
