Well its not all about insurance companies but also where government drops the ball. Example, doctors will prescribe Eliquis because if you have insurance and not medicare its downright cheap but if you are on medicare your cost is four hundred plus.
Even insulin prices get distorted because you are limited to which types you can buy in you are under medicare.
maybe with their majority the Democrats can finally tell their union buddies to bugger off and pass a single payer or tax high value insurance policies; one major reason ACA was so limited as many of those policies which were going to be taxed were all on the side of public employee union benefits.
I've heard this mentioned a lot and I have always wanted to ask: How does tasking high value insurance policies address this issue? Does the government take the additional tax money and use it to subsidize the drug cost? What would prevent the drug company from raising the price to capture the subsidy?
