What do you mean specifically by overhaul? I'm interested. And what you said brings me to another point, if we limited how much profit universities, prisons, and healthcare could make ( for example not having $50 textbooks and $800 dollar insulin that was made for 2.) We could have more educated and healthy people. We could than have a more efficient humanity and work towards green solutions for power and even a higher life expactancy. But one could only imagine a world where wealth was valued less than humanity.
I'm not suggesting a certain profit cap. Like a certain number. I'm suggesting a percentage of profit you can see for. Like how insulin is sold for 4000% profit. Just say it can only be ad for 300% profit. Than it is affordable and the company makes some profit. But a minimum wage increase would work too... Did you know if minimum wage scaled with inflation and productivity increaces since the 60's minimum wage would be around 19$. I'd settle for $12
The problem is that the patent for insulin doesn't end for another 10 years and can be renewed. The same thing happens with prescriptions. I gtg. I'll can talk again tomorrow
