I don’t buy into your argument when it comes to life saving drugs. Sorry. Just don’t buy into it any, too important of an issue. The laws need to be adjusted or caps put on what the drug company can reasonably charge. People who need the drugs do not have the luxury of going outside the US to buy the drugs like it once could many years ago because the greedy drug companies lobbied Congress (aka bought their influence with bribe money) to stop the practice. So screw the drug companies with their crocodile tears.

Your attitude is completely understandable, especially for those who rely on these treatments.

At one time I probably would have agreed with you. Over time I finally realized that if I rely on: (1) someone else to develop medications that are necessary for me to have a "normal" life (whatever that even means anymore), and (2) a government to dictate the price of those medications, then I'm not really a free man at all. This country was founded by men who probably would have considered this whole scenario repulsive.

I know it sounds ludicrous, but then there's a reason why the Amish never worry about these things.
