Whenever a politician starts going on about high drug prices, you can be reasonably sure that talk of price controls will follow. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump disagreed about many things in the recent presidential campaign, but both signaled that they were open to government-mandated price controls through new Medicare rules.
Fortunately in President Trump’s case “open to” didn’t mean “sold on,” because price controls are a terrible idea. Practically every time, place, and way government price controls have been tried, the well-intended efforts have led to lines, shortages, rationing, black markets, impoverishment, sometimes even death.
