    No, I think we should limit the cost of drugs based solely on cost to manufacture and distribute, and pay those operational costs

    If we payed for the research. I agree. Otherwise companies will just spend less on research. I don’t mind capping margins unless they don’t enforce the patent.

        If there is no profit, then nobody would make it.

        think the people should own the means of production where it makes sense.

        It never makes sense. You can do that now, but nobody does because it doesn’t make sense.

            Then why haven’t you started this business? Sounds like you have it all figured out

                It is already legal. You can start your own company tomorrow and make it a non-profit. So why haven’t you done it?

                    Just pay it from our taxes, like the countries with working Healthcare that Rob mentioned in the post

                    That isn’t how other countries do phrama. They just negotiate the prices. They don’t do their own R&D, Marketing, or manufacturing, as you are suggesting. They just negotiate pricing.
