> In what sense are you proposing pharma production is funded by tax dollars?
I am proposing that the pharma strategy of capitalizing on Medicare and Medicaid tax dollars is a significant component of pharma production. I think this is about executive decisions rather than customer decisions.
I would agree with with the word choice of capitalizing. Funding implies you are exchanging money for control. If I fund a company, I expect to get voting shares. When I buy from a company, I expect to get what I paid for.
It is literally the same exact pharma companies selling to the US Medicare, UK NHS, and communist China. What differs is the customers.
Customers vote by buying products or walking.
