If something called the “Affordable Care Act” was passed in 2010, is it fair to say it was a failure?

I don’t understand enough about Trump Pharma to agree or disagree with Amash, but it would not surprise me.

Lower the FDA approval standards to speed the process of getting new drugs to market by a couple of years. Any patients using those drugs in the first couple of years have to sign a waiver disqualifying them from lawsuits for any negative effects. Lower the drug and medical device patent periods by two years. Limit medical malpractice awards to cost plus 10 million. Drug companies and both parties would hate these steps, so they have to be excellent moves that would dramatically lower healthcare costs.

So much of the expense could be reduced if less money went to lawyers and insurance companies. Unfortunately our government is mostly made up of lawyers bought by insurance companies.

The legal community doesn’t like to cut off the hand that feeds them.

But it’s not being directly paid, it’s through huge settlements and claims

There’s certainly a lot of truth to this. I’m not sure adding an additional layer of government in the middle addresses that, but i guess we’ll see.

Rule of thumb: any time you add a process node, you are establishing a new watering hole for special interest groups and lawyers.

Very much in favor of this. In a saner world where MAGA/Trump actually took credit for their biggest COVID victory (operation warp speed) rather than conflate it with other vaccine issues (like mandates), maybe they’d be pushing this harder.

This is every bit as dumb as funding infrastructure based on race in the first place. We should be funding infrastructure in Chicago because millions of people live there, regardless of their race.
