    Because you probably aren't actually helping. And for every person tryingh to help the person in need, there are going to be 100 companies pushing a sugar pill as a cure, only to close their doors after the first 10 million is made. Of course, without any regulation, there will not have to close their doors.

    there is no pharmaceutical monopoly, however your idea would make it easier for there to be just one drug providing company..and it will provide low quality risky drugs.

    We have seen this market without regulation, and a hell of a lot of people died from snake oil salesmen.

    If the US made a deal where they will buy x amount of drugs per year, the US drug prices would be lower. IT's ahs to do with guaranteeing volume; which is a standard and sane business practice. There is nothing shady about it.
