In principle any bulk buyer of a product or servuce should be able to negotiate on costs
Exactly.
Come to NC and view some of the massive, gorgeous “campuses” pharmaceutical companies have at RTP. Each building, there are many on campus, has a wonderful dining room with great meals. Or better yet visit your doctor’s office or hospital when the salesperson brings the meals and free gifts. Those are especially nice at Christmas. Yet Americans pay dearly for meds.
The same drugs we pay dearly for are sold cheaply in other countries. I don’t care but someone needs to negotiate prices before seniors can’t afford aspirin.
