I've never really understood the concept of "greed". Is it "greed" to want a yacht and helicopter when so many in developed nations struggle to own a home, a nice car and put their kids in good schools? Is it greed to want a house and a car when 100s of millions live in poverty? Is it greed to live at all given the inevitable harms to plants and animals that one will likely cause over their lifetimes? Therefore, the concept of greed seems fundamentally nihilistic to me.
Many people are comfortable with their own level of greed, but uncomfortable with the next "level up" in wealth.
In terms of healthcare, I think what is actually needed is more competition and less corruption.
Aye. No problem with hospitals, insurance companies, doctors, or drug companies being greedy as long as they provide value. The problem is that over time the value received by the patient is dropping while the value extracted increases (as does the number of middlemen!). We have gotten to the point where the value proposition is highly questionable. I can drive to Mexico (or fly to the Bahamas) and get cheaper care, often even better care. The only thing that makes it worthwhile to stay in the US system is that one's employer shoulders the burden of insurance payments. In other sectors of the economy we call this vendor lock-in.
Unfortunately, we're starting to face a new monster named Carfentanil, and that monster is Narcan resistant.
That said, the move to make it OTC will definitely reduce the deaths. At risk people, can now keep it readily available. In the cases where there is someone able to call a medic for their friend, and wait for a possibly too late Narcan application, that person will simply be able to administer it immediately.
