They do it for medicine

Yeah, I already explained the circumstances that allow for natural monopolies to thrive. Qhy do you think you don’t see this outside of medicine?

Inserting ideology it’s usually enough. Stupid legislation removing rights for religious reasons has been ridiculously easy to pass recently in many countries. Create a stupid enough ideological reason and any idea can be voted for the populace.

I was talking about price and consumption, now your talking about legislation that would force people to buy food they can’t afford… You’re moving the goal post, and with a claim that makes no sense.

That’s enough to have drugs only manufactured by companies who can name whatever price they like for their medications.

That’s not how the price of medication is determined… Insurance groups, or social medical systems barter as a group with drug corporations over drug prices. Even if your country abandoned government funding for science, I doubt it’s going to be the cause of increased prices for medication. The vast majority of countries import their medications, as most lack the civil regulatory bodies that would be able to clinically test a medicationa efficacy.

If your prices go up, it’s probably because to someone in the government is getting kickbacks from drug corporations to be less aggressive in their group bartering process.

There is life outside the US, you know.

You are the one who is utilizing the American pharmacutical industry as an evidence to support your assertion.

Your original claim is literally impossible. The economic, intellectual property rights, and geopolitical legislation you used in your argument are all inaccurate.
