Pharmacies are, by the way, a separate caste of suckers — the only business in Ukraine that’s been sitting with a screwed face for two years because of price caps on medicines.
Over the 2 years, prices across virtually every business — from logistics to wages — have practically doubled, but the suckers at pharmacies are operating at prices from two years ago because they can’t defend their own interests.
In theory, the Cabinet could introduce such price caps across the entire business sector; the pilot with pharmacies showed that over 2 years the suckers can calmly sit with a screwed face and keep working at old prices.
Right now gas stations are a much bigger problem for the public than pharmacies. So as a second pilot project, price caps could be applied to gas stations.
It sounds funny, like price controls straight out of the USSR, but as the pharmacy case shows, it’s worth trying.
But unlike the suckers at pharmacies, gas stations know the right places to take their case and have good lobbyists.
