Are you arguing this can't be achieved by the public sector too? Or that pharma companies don't make obscene margins?

Honest question, are there simulations about thirty of medicine if pharma margins were near zero ?
I'm arguing that the logic in the comment I responded to is dubious, for the reasons I gave.
You just gestured vaguely about it being expensive and "incentives". I would like to know why you believe the private sector is uniquely equipped to "bring drugs to the market" and why you think having middlemen is more efficient than not having them.
No, I simply pointed out that it costs billions to bring a drug to market --- before marketing --- and that you can't plausibly recoup those expenses for a cost-plus priced product. Do you have a response to that? I'm not interested in expanding the argument.
