More like it’s ok to make millions of dollars in a life-saving business as long as you aren’t RIPPING PEOPLE OFF while doing it. When life-saving medicines are artifically fixed high through bribery or underhanded tactics, it’s no different than if you stuck a gun to their heads...

It's VERY different from putting a gun to their heads. But you socialists tend to confuse metaphors with reality.

So should we just go ahead and put some bureaucrat in charge of medicine prices? That's what Canada does. How many lifesaving drugs are invented in Canada?

Don’t have to. All you have to do is make sure they’re not ripping people off by rigging things in their favor through bribery and other underhanded tactics. Classifying such activity as a form of price-fixing is a solid step. They’ll still rake in craploads of money before the patents expire and lots afterwards. Just not nearly as much.
