Cost Plus

 "What a noble business model!

The first time I experienced affordable pharmaceuticals was while in Ukraine. And "affordable" was relative to the dollar and an American's cost of living, not to the Ukrainian hryvnia and their cost of living.
Health insurance has its uses and in theory, great concept, but in reality pharma marks up the price a ridiculous amount, [makes a lot of money] because insurance companies will pay since we pay insurance premiums. See how this works? And the mandated health insurance requirements... it's all a money-making scheme.
I'm all for free markets, but the current system isn't a reflection of a true free market, it's a reflection of greed, cooercion, corruption, and manipulation.
