Part of the reason it's expensive is because it's hard to synthesize and thus rare.This is one of those edge cases where socialized medicine would show a flaw: Under socialized medicine, the well connected will get access first, with little to no chance for a commoner to get it. In a capitalist system, those who can afford it will get access first. While at first glance this means "It's only for the rich how is this better?!", consider crowdfunding. A commoner who makes a good case can get millions of people to contribute towards their getting the rare life-saving medicine. There's no single politician or bureaucrat denying your application for the medicine; if you convince enough people to give you enough green, you can be saved. |
