EpiPen 400% Price Hike - CEO received 671% raise.

[Thelin]

How exactly is swapping to the exact same product, for cheaper, a bad thing?

I mean sure, if you're talking about chemically different drugs, that's one thing. But going to a generic version of medication is literally the exact same drug, just produced by a different company who doesn't sell it as a brand name.

It may not be for a very high number of people, as I said in my post, I actually had a different reaction to the generic they tried to put me on due to the differences with the INACTIVE ingredients. It caused some problems and I then had to get a letter from my doctor saying I need to be put back on my older medication.

don't get me wrong generics are a great thing because they drive prices WAY down because they didn't have to pay the cost to develop the drug. I used to work in I.T. in the pharma industry. When a drug reaches p3 (approval stage) each day that passes without approval literally costs the company about a million dollars. Not to mention all the costs associated with the development and p1/p2 trials.

Well, you seem like a nice, high functioning psychopath.

I am, but at the same time, I am right.

I am enjoying it, and the relevant human population is MUCH greater.

Monetary worth of a person is the best approximation in gauging how good the person is, how VALUED he is.

Only to the damn fools that value money above everything.

I met your sort in an alley once...I enjoyed the experience.

Pitchforks are coming for the rich, and the sooner the better.

So you like murder. You are anti-life.

IF you valued life: tell me, HOW did you help the, say, poorest billion? Lemme guess, by excrementposting.

It was a long time ago.
And what you call life is vile because it feeds off of everyone like a parasite.

When society breaks down because of jerks like Martin Shkreli...(and yourself? it seems you do lump yourself in with such pieces of shit)...you guys are going to be nothing more than "entertainment."

And that's my real point in my post; A well-run society for the betterment of all. When the wealthy forgets that and does shit that encourages a breakdown they are typically the first victims. And no one misses them.

Price hikes do have a benefit--- they allow for the best mechanism for scarcity to be corrected. The people who need or want the epi pens the most will pay the increased cost for them, the company making them can use the extra profit to make more and correct the scarcity, and it signals other companies to make more. With a price control, they'd be sold to whoever showed up first until there were none left and then they'd be resold black market style.

Ah yes. That's why we don't have any medicine in the Nordics.

[Fencers]

This industry is kind of a racket from what I know of it.

Wealthy people are the very best of humanity.
Wealthy people visitet the Moon. In due time, they will colonise Mars.
Poor people live in the jungle in tribes.


See the difference?

Wealthy people did not visit the moon. They might've become wealthy after the fame of visiting the moon although I suspect most did not.

If wealthy people are the best how do you explain the Walton family.

Well, Mark is star running back at The U, so massive amounts of talent.

[Sunseeker]

It's funny, but this is precisely the reason that non-capitalist countries of the past instituted price caps.

The health of the nation shouldn't have to bear the burden of a capitalist's whimsy.

Free market doesn't really work in Healthcare without regulations, you can't choose to not be sick but you can choose not to own an ipod.

Yes, there are more low-end people than there are high-end people.
SO WHAT?

I have in my wallet more cash than some tribe is worth. I would prefer they all die than I lose my money.
That is the reality.

Most people do not realize that - that when they discard their old cell, they discard value of several low-end tribes. Tens of thousands or more. But I do.

After all the blank checks Kennedy gave NASA...because the wealthy saw the space program as a bad investment.

[Onizuka]

I think there is potential opportunity here.

Some country should just manufacture ALL of the life saving drugs as generic and resell them too everyone around the world for cheap. Fuck patents and laws I say we just do it. If someone trys too stop you, claim self defense and shoot them. How is taking your life saving medication away from you Not attempted murder?

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

He is a troll of the lowest sort...I have to wonder if this is the result of selective breeding as his intellect doesn't seem to reflect an education.

Don't worry, the marxist ideals will also soon reach those tribes.
