Cost-plus pricing creates all sorts of perverted incentives in and of itself.

And I’m not sure we want to go with “government mandated profit margins”.

Do all drugs have the same margin? Even if the benefit is the same? That creates perverted incentives.

It’s not a simple problem to solve at all.




I don't think you read the whole thing. I specifically said "no cost-plus pricing." It's just a notional price for comparison with the real ones.


Looking at cost and setting a price is cost-plus pricing.


Hello? Do you understand the word "notional"?
