Broken US Healthcare System

[HangLow]

That is a definition, not the definition of the meaning. The word can also be used when a government uses its power which is gained through the people to purchase products at better prices than any one individual can do by themselves.

Collective bargaining in general means a group bargaining for something rather than an individual. So the word can be used as I am using it and should still make sense.

If I said the word "nut", How many different ways of defining that word can you come up. A general used it in world war two to say he would not surrender is one definition for it.

Yet our pharmac took months to negotiate for a price both could afford. Now we will be getting a drug that will save the lives of only about a handful of people with a rare condition. One that none could afford by themselves.

So as a capitalist you promote the idea of government interference in order that some people get the right to control trade through exclusive ownership. Or what is sometimes called a monopoly.

Not that I am claimimg this has happened, but, it would not be the first time that american pharmaceutical companies have insisted that a government only deal with american pharmaceutical companies if the government wants a discount. Monopolies like this are not capitalism theory. Yet americans want to be capitalists. Go figure
