    So to summarize your suggestions are:

    lobbying the government

    not negotiating alone against big pharma (lobbying again)

    Calmly and nicely agrue your case.

    we have a capitalist system and that is a good way of stopping the bleeding.

    Again, none of those answer the question. Those are all “do nothing and trust those with power and authority to do the right thing.” It’s the definition of useless liberalism and displays quite the level of privilege and disconnect from reality.

    You can easily look up how completely ineffective those solutions are, if you care. Did you even read the article this comment thread is posted under?

      No, trusting the authorities to do the right thing, would be sitting at home and doing absolutly nothing.

        Right, which is why I’m saying that your ‘solution’ is nothing. It boils down to: “Lobby!(1) Then go home(2), sit and wait(3)”

        1. With your loads of cash and free time.
        2. Which of course everyone has.
        3. Which is a luxury we can certainly all afford.

          Great that we agree that lobbying works. Otherwise you would not go home and sit around and just wait. With a fixed problem however that is perfectly fine.

            Great, my work is done. I’ve done a lobby and convinced you that Lobbying doesn’t actually change anything and that you’ll have to actually do something. And now I can sleep easy knowing that you’ll fix it all for me!
