We need to hold these people accountable for their actions. Life sentences or if necessary capitol punishment sentences for the players and actors who are responsible for hiking up prices on drugs for no better reason than increased profit margins, enough is enough. It doesn't matter if its diabetes, ms or cancer if the the drugs aren't affordable then the people producing the medication should immediately be taken to court and if found guilty of price gouging should be punished accordingly.



As long as future citizens can hold people like you equally culpable for the predictable result, sure.

Here is my prediction; no one enters/stays in the high risk drug market because whack jobs want them dead for getting a return on R&D.

In fact, I would take this one step further. You my dear comrade, since you don't work in the field trying to invent drugs and lower drug prices, are obviously part of the problem. Since you rent your labor elsewhere for your own benefit you artificially distort the market and keep prices high.

Since you seem to believe capital punishment is an appropriate sentence, I only ask that you put a little skin in the game and mark your beliefs to market.


The high risk drug market? What are you talking about there's nothing high risk about the drug market. Their profit margins are enormous, absolutely gigantic. If you are under the impression that the people setting drug prices are good people trying to make an honest living then you are very, very confused.

The industry is thick and rife with corruption and greed. Their paying off politicians and doctors left and right. Have you any idea the kind of people your defending? Go discover a cure for cancer tomorrow, you will be dead by Monday. They will pay to have you killed, that's the kind of people your defending.

Skin in the game? Anyone who is dependent upon drugs to live already has skin in the game, I already have skin in the game. If they so choose any one of us who is depend on these drugs to live could be dead within the year, how's that for skin in the game?
