I can see a scenario where the govt pays the same high price that medicare does but for all of us.

Govt does not have to worry about this just raise taxes to pay the higher prices.
As an aside, the highest paid exec at PFIZER made close to 20 million in 2020. If drug companies are worried about profits stop paying there executives so much! The horse is out of the barn now and it's running faster every year. I realize that is off topic but I think we should be fair to big pharma. They have a lot of expenses. I know government has made it hard for them to bribe physicians though.
