People will get the medicine that was prescribed, because they need it. But no one would say that the high price of medicine was the product of capitalism. It wasn't the product of capitalism.


Except that's exactly what it was!

Insurance companies found they could leverage hospitals for discounts because of the massive amount of people they had.

Hospitals found they could afford those "discounts" if they overcharged for items.

This wasn't government influence. This was just how capitalism works. Volume leads to discount. Infinite supply leads to the ability to price hike to your heart's content.

Capitalism is great for goods and services you don't need. Prices are curtailed by how popular the service or good is. But we things you NEED there's nothing to curtail the price.
