I see. The customer bargaining with the supplier is a very bad thing, correct? What would Adam Smith say?

That customer will be bargaining with your medication, and not buying medication that you need. Don't worry about it though, you trust them.
Medicare did not start covering prescription drugs until 2003, when exactly did they do this, and for how many years?

Medicare did this for years. And it resulted in huge, massive, savings. Republicans stopped that and now Medicare pays much more money for the exact same product.
Republicans: Making government suck and then saying that government can't run efficiently.
And yes. I trust the government more than a private for profit corporation. And anyone in their right mind would.

With all the corruption, greedy self important idealogues in govt, you place your trust there? At least with a "for profit" corp, there is money motivation and competition to keep that in check. After all we have seen, at least through the past 4 administrations, and you still trust govt more. That is scary but its your life and not mine.
I don't put my trust in either but much less in govt.

Corporations have a legal fiduciary duty to fuck you over if its profitable to do so. They are organizations run specifically for the benefit for their shareholders-that is, not for you.
The government you have a say (a small say, but a say nonetheless) in and as those who are responsible to the people, they respond somewhat to the peoples wishes.
Both groups experience the same level of corruption on various levels. But both groups also work to a large degree. But one is actively working in your interest, one will never, ever take your interest into account.

Sure they do as their interest in you is tied to profits which you so eloquentely stated is their duty. If they do not provide a service to your liking, you move on and if this continues will many patients, the company either changes its ways ie showing interest in the client, or go out of business. That is the reality of the free market.

Except that health-care insurance is provided by our work and so we don't have much of a choice in it. We do have a choice of doctors, but prices don't vary significantly from doctor to doctor and are often effectively set by the insurance companies.

Hmm, indeed. My bad.
