So you think the government should set the prices of medication?
No, I just think they shouldn't do the kind of patent hogging that we observe now and make instructions to produce the vaccine freely available. Like that we can have healthy competition on who is able to produce the vaccine most efficiently. I am pretty sure this would drive pricing down a lot.
It would, but it would also slow their investment into new treatments, if everybody can just copy it.
