We all know, you can go to Mexico, and buy a pill, for .50 cents. Which the Same pill, in your neighborhood pharmacy, cost $5.00.
The, solution is NOT, to Limit, Set, Make a law, or Restrict, the amount that company can sell that pill for. It is totally, their CHOICE.
I think the solution, would be to, REMOVE, the, ‘Protection’, the Fed Gov GIVES. And simply make it a free market.
A Free market, very fast will level out, the price. and if a Company’s price on something is to high, less people will buy it.
Ever go to a mart-mart in one town, and see the price on the Exact Same item, different at the same brand of, mart-mart, in another town?
I have even seen a, item, in the SAME Store, which is priced at one price in the, ‘Pet’ department, and another price in the, ‘Equine’ dept.
Just bought a new revolver. Top of the Line, by a top company. 1,495.00 is the ‘factory’ list price. Very easy to find it at, 1,200.00 (+/-) I Paid, 1,050.00. SAME GUN, Same Specks, Same Details, Same Warranty.
Some will pay, 5.00 for the pill, some will pay .50. The price on the, SAME, pair of shoes, is Hugely, different, at the, Mall Of America, or Runnings, (a farm store), in Hutchinson. and they are only about 1.5 hour drive apart. And they Both, set the price, THEY, chose, (not the government).
Remove the, ‘Price Protection’, On, All things, that the, government, GIVES. And the market will sort itself out.
Will their be ’some’ pitfalls. Sure. Just like a, popular, ‘flee & tick’, solution to apply to dogs and cats. A couple of companies here, make it. (And it, seemed, they all got together, and set their price) Then their was a, China, company, which made a package, that, ‘looked a lot like’ the other one, and you could buy it for 80% LESS. But it, KILLED, your Pet. Simply because, the, ‘buyers’, ONLY, looked at the price. (Very Unfortunate) Yet, the end result, the, quality product’s, made here, the Price came DOWN !
The, government, ‘Price Protection’, exists mostly in H.C. Products/Items/Care.
The majority of other items, the price is what the market will bear. If it is too high, you sell less, if it is to low, you sell more, but don’t make money.
How many, Products, that if you look at the specifications, ALL Have the SAME thing. Yet different Companies, and different prices.
Do the same with H.C.
