So, you are bitching about doing precisely the same thing with Part D as was done with Parts A/B 10 years ago under Clinton, i.e., developing outsourced alternatives to government run Medicare? To have great drugs, the capital markets require a certain return on investment. If they aren't getting that return, the drugs don't happen. What other basic concepts of economics would you like to share with the thread. You seem to misunderstand this basic principle on which the capital markets are built. What is it you don't comprehend? Let's be honest: The fact is that you want, at best, Socialized medicine, and your real goal would be out-and-out Communism. This doesn't work for me and most of the rest of America. I don't know what else to tell you.
