We can solve pharmaceuticals without bringing in the miasma of the broader healthcare debate.

Three things:

1. Let Medicare directly negotiate pricing on all drugs;

2. Make it easier for generics producers, including foreign manufacturers, to sell into America; and

3. Reform PBMs [1]. Transparency on pricing. Spun out of monoliths.

While we’re at it, maybe someone can figure out how to cut the $1bn it costs to get a drug to approval to something lower.
