  I’m really hoping China or Russia or any other planned economy just jumps in here with their own cheaper rendition of the drive to stop these pharma companies from arbitrarily hiking prices on drugs.

  If the US won’t regulate itself, fuckit why not Russia or China for a bit of competition

    Russia didn’t have planned economy for almost 40 years, and even before that the word economy was heavily in quotations. They were so good they could organise sand shortages in Sahara. Since then things got worse.
