The only drug that treats syphilis during pregnancy is in short supply. Untreated, the disease can pass to newborns, killing them or leaving them with disabilities. As cases rise sharply, the government isn’t doing much to prevent shortages.

    I guess it’s a convenient hands-off solution to the unwanted pregnancies since abortion became illegal again.

    I’m shocked that the free market healthcare isn’t serving the needs of the population at large. This requires a fundamental change to the way we do things. I think we can all agree it’s time to create a special non-profit category for any existing for-profit healthcare or pharma company doing business in the US. They’re clearly constrained by over taxation and things like this wouldn’t happen if they were unburdened.
