Ramirez Cartoon: Drug Price Control Poison

The history of government price-control policies that seek to impose price ceilings on goods and services is both long and replete with failure. That’s because price controls discourage innovation and investment, and lead to shortages in the marketplace, among other unintended consequences.

No targeted industry is immune from the predictable negative impacts of prices controls – not even prescription drugs, which seem to be a primary target in the price-control crosshairs of policymakers at all levels of government.

A nonprofit organization in Utah is suing the U.S. Forest Service, demanding that the park service lift its ban on snowboarding at Alta ski resort. The group, Wasatch Equality, claims the park service's ban violates snowboarders' rights to equal protection under the U.S. Constitution.

In the filing, the federal government also said it has discretion about what activities can take place on public lands.

“For example, the United States may decide to allow fishing within a wildlife refuge, but it may choose to limit particular waters within that refuge only to fly fishing, which necessarily excludes other type of fishing,” assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Bennett wrote.

A hearing in the case is expected in the coming weeks.
