Your tone seems very uncalled for. All I am arguing is that if you prosecute people from selling drugs, or make more regulations, fewer people will sell drugs - at a higher price. It shouldn't matter people are cunts, if they have competition they will have to provide better satisfaction. As of now, american people are prohibited from importing drugs, and that's exactly what utter cunts lobby and fight for.

>... or make more regulations, fewer people will sell drugs - at a higher price. Which just doesnt happen in countries with stricter regulated medical markets. Quite the opposite, it happens in the US, thats what this article is about. Its a nice theory but not something that can be observed in reality.

  The other drug market has fewer people selling than otherwise, at a higher price (for the quality) than otherwise. I'm not sure how you are able to the opposite conclusion.

    Being a street corner crack dealer in many US cities has so much competition, that it pays below minimum wage.

The trouble is that many of those regulations exist for very good reasons. Dropping enough of those regulations to encourage competition is a baby with the bathwater kind of situation.

It only seems uncalled for if you don't believe price gouging on critical drugs to point of financial ruin and death is utterly evil. Clearly, you don't believe it is evil.

  >It only seems uncalled for if you don't believe price gouging on critical drugs to point of financial ruin and death is utterly evil. It's naive and simplistic to actually believe that the price-gouging isn't far more nuanced than "evil" people sitting in a board room discussing how to screw over poor diabetics. But whatever works for you, I guess.

    The system is broken, but at some point, people are sitting in a room deciding exactly that: "Yes, some people will go bankrupt and some have actually died, but we need to strike while the iron is hot! After all, it's not our fault they can't get health care and we owe it to our shareholders to maximize profits"
