Then why are they making hundreds of thousands of epipens? Sounds like they should make like 100 a year and auction those suckers off. Less material and capital to manufacture, same profits.
doubtful that an auction that would demand those profits would be 1) easy to facilitate 2) stable and predictable.
Also, the individual price per unit would rise to the point that there would be another competitor to the market.
My point is that you can't cry about government controlled health care, and high prices of "free-market" items at the same time.
So either we have a gene pool cleansing and accept that people die, or a controlling entity uses force to coerce the manufacturers to adopt practices that will make it available at "reasonable" prices to the populous.
