  1. Eden Gray, when you run through the numbers nothing suggests that other countries are better https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/-the-business-of-health_110115929760.pdf The argument of "other countries do it" is very weak as it ignores many factors dealing with culture.

  3. Define "fair prices". This is pretty vague. Also, what is "reasonable"? I really see this as price setting which never works.

  6. "f we assume that the research burden is predominantly taken care of by our government, then the only burden on production are the actual production costs like materials and assembly." There is more to it then that. You have to hire staff and someone has to manage it. Knowing the history of government, and how it can radically change simply because a voting population gets a little perturbed, I do not want that.
