As drugmakers slam Medicare price controls, Wall Street shrugs https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/08/29/medicare-drug-price-pharma-companies-stock/

I’m a fan of liberated market capitalism (think Free as in GPL). These companies love their captured, uncapitalist monopolies and fight for them tooth and nail. It’s great to see the tide turning against them!

Big pharma: We should be able to charge whatever prices the market will bear. We love capitalism!

Medicare: Cool. Then let’s negotiate.

Big pharma: NOT LIKE THAT!
