Let the market figure it out—it’ll adjust, companies will raise prices in other markets and simply not serve the ones that won’t let them charge enough to make it worth it—and then explicitly, collectively subsidize it if that produces a shortfall? Pinning the bill for a subsidy on the sick people—but only in our country—we’re claiming to be trying to help, while also claiming our entire country is and must remain, uniquely, a martyr to the cause is a deeply weird way to go about providing a subsidy.
The market has figured it out. The market has figured out, that tech bros will charge you as much as possible for that last dyeing grasp, seeking as much profit, while just glossing over mistakes and oversites that unalive you and your loved ones. The very best of luck with that. Hope you have an immediate and effective alternative.
I meant use monopsony government buying power and/or price controls like 100% of the rest of the developed world, and let the market figure it out. Though I definitely didn’t make that clear, my bad.
Then subsidize, on purpose and directly, not by some lopsided roundabout more-expensive-than-it-needs-to-be scheme, if problems arise.
