Leftists just do not understand that financial incentive is what drives creation & production of EVERYTHING. Take away the incentive for profit, and the motivation to create & produce evaporates (not entirely, but certainly at large scale). Yes, those medicines are expensive and the manufacturer is making a large profit at the probable expense of patients’ ability to afford them ... but if not for that large profit, there would be no incentive to create such medicines in the first place.
Amid the Left’s fondness for “redistribution of wealth” and “soak the rich” and “consequence-free sex” etc, they fail to see what ISN’T created as a result. They want to optimize what is (to their own flippant preferences), not realizing that in doing so, what is soon becomes replaced by isn’t.
Greedy rich? redistribute! ... why aren’t the productive, well, productive any more?
Consequences to carnal acts? control/abort! ... why is the population shrinking, and the tax base with it?
Medical costs too high? cut their profits! ... why aren’t lifesaving advances progressing?
Idiots. Think “value” just grows on unwatered trees.
Where Bernie SCROOOOOOD up was that he chose a drug that only helps men to use as his test case.
He should have chosen something that is prescribed for female complaints. He would have gotten his wish faster than you can say War on Women.
