But there’s also a somewhat “idealistic” side to it. Without insurance, a lot of people are still vulnerable if they need something expensive or urgent.

I found it interesting that it doesn’t rely on insurance. It kind of exposes how artificially inflated the traditional system is.

I’m not sure how scalable this is. It works for generics, but what about more complex medications? That’s a different story.

This just proves the problem was never the actual cost of drugs, but all the middlemen involved. Remove that, and prices drop fast.
