I guess you don’t understand the principle of free market, do you ? How do you define “massive overcharges” ? Do you have ANY idea what it costs to bring a drug to the market ? At last count, that’s 3 BILLION - yea, with a *B*, and that’s not of gooberment funny money but real money a company needs to get back through sales. Where do you get this idea that they should just provide it to you at whatever price suits you ?

Next thing it’ll be “it’s a right”. Then what? If there aren’t enough doctors they’ll take your kid and say “this one must go to medical school and serve” ? Where does it stop ? Not enough nurses ? Oh we’ll just draft some. That worked out great in the Soviet Union.

Free market would be making back the $3Billion and some profit. Massive overcharges would be making $10Billion on top of the $3B. That would be criminal and not free market to me. Free market is basically what the market can accept. I see withholding a cure for a disease as criminal.
