This is a flavor of things to come for the US. How can a government representing a free society "determine the value" of any product, let alone pharmaceuticals that require millions of dollars to develop because of the government's over-regulation of the developmental process?

It appears that the Eugenicists and the “Population Bomb” Fanatics have figured out that if they can get effective medications removed because they “cost” to much. Then we will die off even faster for the sake of their agendas.

Yes, socialized medicine, run by secularists, will do what Hitler could not.

The free market already does what they “say” they’re doing.
