Maybe if the government allowed people to purchase these drugs through foreign pharmacies, foreign labs would produce them. Socialism and "public safety" kills people.

> Socialism and "public safety" kills people.

European countries, which had an immensively more active communist presence since the 1950's, have no problem importing foreign medicines.
What you're seeing here isn't "socialism" nor "public safety", it's just monopoly capital protecting it's profits

So socialism would be opening foreign markets to create competition so that the prices drop and drugs become available?

@Humpleupagus Socialism will plan for drug production, in a similar manner to how private companies already do, but with the aim to maximize the health of the public, instead of profit.
If it can be locally produced it will, if it cannot it will be imported.

@Humpleupagus Oh btw, have you leaned which german philosopher marxism took an insperation from by subverting it yet?

Kant

@Humpleupagus Wrong.
This is so bizzare, because it's not like we even hide it.
Hint of the day, you often see his the name of his philosophy together with "materialism", sich as "<philosophy> materialism"

It's kant, and you're gay.

Public health care

@LukeAlmighty @Humpleupagus The fun thing is that our goverment has been cutting public health care funding while increasing the money they give to the privates, and waiting time has gone up with an almost linear relationship, while the price of the privates have stayed the same.

@moffintosh @Humpleupagus
Government gives money to corporations...

And you still call it private healthcare
