Professor Ryder is right: this is the one point on which I think we do disagree.
I am more pessimistic about using POGG for pharmacare legislation federally. I do not think it would work. “Doomed” is not the word that I would use, but “Hail Mary, faint hope” would be.
I would not encourage Parliament to try to solve this problem in such a way that—because it does need to be solved—would be hinging on a legislative basis of tenuous or very tenuous reliability.
