If the government wants to subsidize something, how about subsidizing the research and development so that it can't be used as an excuse to keep drugs and treatments so damn high. "Hey look, we have a new drug to keep you alive, but your life will be miserable because if you don't give us our price, you will die". How about figuring out how to keep medicine affordable instead of figuring out how to pay the exorbitant costs. How about highly taxing the huge pharma profits to subsidize insurance. How about......? There are all kinds of solutions, they just need to be figured out. That is what this country used to be great at. I'm not quite sure WTF happened to that.
