COMMENT:

I seem to remember trying this argument on Zee and getting the response
that me-too autos didn't count because drugs are a different
commodity-- one which saves lives.

Of course, that was before she got off on the OTHER socialist idea that
what's breaking the bank is really "life-style" drugs, of the sort that
don't save impoverished Africans. So THOSE really are more like autos.

Okay, let us stipulate the real economic pharm problem is really
"me-too lifestyle drugs." :) But how THESE differ from luxury
transportation, escapes me. Unless your doofus government is
constructed so that it's obligated to pay for them.

Then--- everybody waits in line for their BMW. Remind you of anyplace?
