Look, I take your point. In fact I posted above somewhere that there are GOOD AND BAD people in these various institutions. In fact, I absolutely support a pharmaceutical research company that spends years and supports top researchers to discover drugs for exotic diseases. And they are absolutely justified in charging high prices to try to recover their costs. That is why most of these miracle drugs come out of America and not out of most other places in the world.
But the Albedazole is a different thing. It has been around for 45 years. It is a generic drug. It is sold for pennies everywhere outside of America. If it were only a few dollars in this country, it would be tolerable. But $219 dollars is not defensible.
Furthermore, the company, Amenda Pharma has been bought out by another company (google it), and that company is going around the country buying DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS for other generic drugs and blowing out the prices. Neither political party is doing anything concrete about it. You like capitalism? ME TOO!
All I ask is that we allow the bedrock of capitalism to be unleashed—FREE COMPETITION! I think you will agree.
No, you look. You wasted your ammunition on the wrong guy.
I think the smarmy little chit that is buying up generic rights to drugs and epipens and such then raping people over the prices should be strung up by his balls. People like this are EXACTLY the reason medicine can’t be a for profit pure free enterprise proposition because it can become and has become a monopoly. Self-government without self-control will not work.
I guess you can’t detect cynicism and sarcasm. Just for the record, there is none of either in this post.
