What we know is capitalism is happy to let people die in the pursuit of profits. Pharmaceuticals 101. Limit supply, push prices up.
Eg Greece, where it ended up being cheaper to pay for people to travel by taxi, than continue to fund the railways.



Company X makes drug A, whilst company Y makes drug B, and Z makes C. That is not only common sense, it keep costs down by not having excess unused capacity from all 3 firms each making all 3 drugs.
