Thank you. So the bogeyman here is “stockpilers”, much as “speculators” are the all-purpose whipping boy for rationalizing the governmental interventions in other markets that just make matters worse.

While I have my gripes with big international pharma, big international chemical companies, and crony capitalism (think replacing CFC inhalers with garbage HFA ones), I am also aware of the cost of developing new medications and manufacturing quality generics.

This all reminds me of Hillary's mandate to make vaccines more available by in essence regulating that manufacturers run at a loss.
