Answer 1

Answer: C. markets are always the best way to allocate resources

Explanation:

The aforementioned article juxtaposes the benefits of having a market system for drug purchases in the United States vs other countries where healthcare is planned by the government.

It presented facts to support the logic that having a private market based system for drugs like the United States, ensures that there is incentive to produce more efficient drugs because an appropriate price can be charged for it unlike in areas where drug budgets are planned and so there might be haggling over accepting expensive drugs as was the case in New Zealand with Herceptin.

This reinforced the belief that markets are always best for resource allocation.
