Former hedge fund manager acquires life-saving drug, raises price 5,555% to $750/pill

If she's elected, it will go down for some as Reagan having engineered a deal with Iran to keep the hostages there, Bush knew about 9/11 and FDR was in on the Pearl Harbor bombing because he wanted war in the folder of great conspiracy theories.

 

Because other countries either have (or are close to having) far greater cost controls in place (as compared to the U.S.), it's not at all preposterous. U.S. sales account for a very, very disproportionate share of the profits earned on new drugs. Another way of putting it is that the U.S. subsidizes, to a great degree, the new drugs enjoyed by the rest of the world.

You could do it another way, of course. But you're not going to get as many new drugs.

 

Seems like he should have gone to jail, too.

 

This is a classic "outrage" that is fueled by the left in their desire to paint everybody who wants to make a buck - especially when it comes to pharmaceuticals - as greedy, immoral, lawless scumbags who want to kill people!!

Here is a very, very obscure drug that treats an extremely rare condition and it is being painted as crucial to man's existence. And don't think for one second that the whole "AIDS drug" stuff wasn't purposely yet mistakenly put in the headlines.

Now we have all these goofballs, the same wackos that changed their profile picture to rainbows, on Facebook posting this and reposting it and talking about how this man is denying people with AIDS their medicine!!!!!!!!

The kid is clearly a slimy little punk, you can tell that, but this idea that he is somehow denying thousands of people their medicine is silly.

 

How many people getting fucked over should we set the limit at before outrage kicks in?

 

Yes, this kind of thing is extremely rare, people!!! Entrepreneurs very, very, very rarely are like this guy.

Except maybe for the VW people who were pulling a fast one for years with their little emmissions gimmick.

And except for the peanut sellers who passed along salmonella tained peanuts because it would have cost money to keep that off the shelves. If people died, that's unfortunate and all.

Other than that, the market forces will make everyone behave. So relax.

 

You cannot be serious.
He looks and sounds shifty as hell.

 

Zag says that the idea he is somehow denying thousands of people of their medicine is silly.

If its, say, 500, then we're all good.

 

495 actually

And that's not my point - my point is the "outrage" is because this is being painted as if this guy is withholding access to drugs for people with AIDS, which in fact he is not.

 

Yeah, he has a weird smile after each answer, but let's see you go on national TV for a grilling. It's a nervous tic.

I'm more interested in his answers and how factually correct they are.

 

Those tics are his tell. He knows he's a bastard with low moral standards.
