What exactly is “market price” for a drug in the US? Consumers don’t pay for drugs directly; only insurance companies pay for drugs. In Germany, all the insurance companies get together and form a Drug Price Bargaining Group, which bargains with drug companies the same way a government would. Why don’t insurance companies do that in America? Is the problem just that this would be a monopoly (technically a monopsony, I guess?)

Just to reemphasize: Wear shoes with a wide toebox. Almost all foot-related injuries / hot spots / blisters seem to come from cramped toes. I look at some of the footwear folks shove their tootsies into and cringe. Get a fat toebox and your feet will love you. It’s always better for your shoes to be “too big” than too small. In part because your feet will expand greatly over the course of a day of walking, and also because it’s easier to cinch a loose shoe more tightly than stretch one that’s too-small.
