Our whole healthcare system is run the way Martin Shkreli manipulated his control of the drug Daraprim— jack up the price 5,000% and grin as desperate people struggle to pay the extortion price. Same for the drug Revlimid— 25 cents to make— sold for $1,000/pill/day.
Yep. Some 40 years ago a conservative opinion writer for a Florida paper (forget which one) surprised me big time when he wrote (paraphrase): "When you're having a heart attack you aren't shopping for the best priced care. Competitive markets simply do not apply to healthcare."
