    In a free market, people would be able to get any drug they like.

    I’m presuming that over-regulation in the wrong way might be the cause here. But the problem is, markets carrying necessities tend to exploit customers when there’s no competition, so I’m not sure that deregulation should be the move either.

      In a free market, people can get any drug that provides sufficient profit margins to justify the market producing it. If scarcity needs to be induced to bring the profit margins up to an acceptable level… the market is free to do so.
