Until someone has the nuts to clip the medical establishments wings, we are in serious peril. This literally could bankrupt the country.
The evidence is all around us in other countries that do medical much better and way more affordable.
And it looks like the insurance conglomerate is going to continue to get it's slice of the pie as well.

Like hell they don't! I have immediate family members who are practicing physicians who tell me how the Big Pharma game operates.

Yes, the Pharmaceutical companies don't need many people on the drugs that cost those amounts of money to make a hefty profit.
Chances are if one pays $5000 for 20 tablets of something to help them cure whatever, the profit made will be in the tune of $4900 if not more.
It costs very little to make the drugs, I would be comfortable saying that in some cases the packaging actually costs the Drug companies more than the actual drugs do to manufacture.
Cure? Big Pharma isn't about curing anything. Most biologics offered by pharmaceutical companies are treatments not cures.
Try doing some research before spouting off.

Yes, treatment not cure is what I meant to say.
They sure don't want cures available to the public at any cost.

I have,
take a look at the profit margin for some of the most popular pharmaceutical drugs on the market used to treat mood disorders, drugs like Xanax.
You might be surprised that its actually legal to make such insane amounts of profit.
Don't try to backpedal now. You said cure. Own it! You were wrong.

Yes I did say cure, well done, is learning to read something new and exciting for you?

I would have been wrong if I meant to say cure but I didn't, hence why I alluded to that you were right and treatment is what I meant to say.
