“While the drug companies may be entitled to $50.00 per pill they are NOT entitled to $750.00 per pill.”

How very fascist. What’s next? Want to tell me what wage I’m “entitled” to?

Sorry Charlie setting wages/prices is done all the time. Pure food and drug laws are over a century old and those laws tell companies what to put in their product and what to omit every day. We tell corporations they can't work 10 year old's 12 hours per day six days per week. Prices are set all the time. It is a lack of judgement in regulating rates that causes problems not the concept of regulation per se.

All of the protective laws are based upon experience society had with "Free Markets," "Freedom of Contract," and myriads of abuses by untrammeled capitalism. Once again it is over regulation and ill considered regulation that creates problems.
