Who do you think pays that inflated price? Medicare and government.
It is the same as gov backed student loans. It inflates price to sky high prices.
Activists never demand cheaper (or more transparent) health care. They demand state to pay for it!

...it's cheaper that way. That's-- that's why they say that. You can keep repeating yourself, but tell me, what makes almost every other first-world country better at this than the States? How is it that we can pay so much less and have, in aggregate, better health outcomes? It's a mystery!
My country has public health insurance, but gov also works hard to keep costs down. If we paid for drugs like this, the public system would bankrupt.
