The discussion becomes simplistic because the moral wrongs are so blatant. See eg the cost of insulin (source from 2018): https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cost-of-insulin-by-country/

USA: 99$

Next most expensive country on that list: 21$

ETA: This is not intended to start a discussion about the price of insulin. The point is that a life-saving drug costs about 9-10x more in the USA than in countries with similar living standards, eg. countries in Europe.

I think you missed my point. Is going out of business and not being in position to provide drugs at all simply because you don't want drug price disparity between USA and countries that arm-twisted you into paying a lot less then what they should because they know you are going to make up the difference in the US market morally superior to what we have now?
