    Speaker Nancy Pelosi says any coronavirus vaccine should be "affordable." "This would be a vaccine that is developed with taxpayer dollars...We think that should be available to everyone—not dependent on 'Big Pharma.'" https://abcn.ws/385vzQ2  pic.twitter.com/V68xNk3MfT

        Is he going to pretend she isn't directly rebuking the HHS Secretary who says we "can't guarantee" it will even be affordable? I don't actually like the idea of going after the wrong target. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/02/26/congress-coronavirus-response/ …

        Even in M4A, the vaccine wouldn't be free. We'd all be paying just via US gov't. The reason why meds are so expensive is because of patent control.

        I still lean free especially if there's pandemic concerns. Some of the more vulnerable can be homeless types and so forth.

        Paid through by progressive taxation is also an option if someone doesn't like the concept of "free"
