I am not sure what you are trying to prove with this citation. Basically it proves what I have stated, the private market will not drive down prices, it has zero incentive to.
The idea that the market will drive down drug prices is utter nonsense. The FDA is a captive agency.. What Shrkreli did (and others) is exactly what the open market does... Creates monopolies and gouges.
Those that think the free market will fix health care or drug prices have absolutely zero understanding of either industry.
This dialogue started with “industry greed” driving US drug prices.
The rabbit hole is already too deep.
