This Is How Big Pharma Wins

Two years into the pandemic, the industry has evaded reforms a supermajority of voters want.
My take:

There is a role for well-thought-out fiscal interventions to boost efficiency and competition in the health care sector. Reforming the U.S. patent system and making the federal government a more effective negotiator that can leverage its role as a large-scale purchaser to attain lower pharmaceutical drug prices are low hanging fruit that can be plucked with bipartisan support if the Big Pharma lobby can be kept at bay.
