I&#x27;m not sure why you find my comments hard to rhyme.<p>In this thread I&#x27;m claiming that if you make it harder to make a profit off lifesaving drugs, people will probably invest their money elsewhere and produce fewer such drugs. Reduced demand (or price ceilings) lower quantity produced.<p>In the other thread I claimed that if you consider alternate sellers of medical labor, you can get a lower price. Increased supply lowers price and increases quantity provided.<p>Both of these claims are just classic Econ 101.<p>If medical tourism was not an option for me I&#x27;d have paid full price in the US and considered myself extremely lucky to have the option to trade money for the ability to do sex positions besides &quot;girl on top, me not moving&quot;. I hardly think I&#x27;m alone - how many people would be willing to give up all medical procedures invented since 1970 in return for lower prices?
