Execellent point. Now that the drug companies have made their profit they'll come clean w/ the truth.

They're not making a profit. They're probably just breaking even. They won't make more medicine than they did the year before because of the price caps. The price has been capped to low. If they throw any away, they lose money. They can't make more than they need. It'll cost them. They're being choked by the Hillary price caps.
If this flu problem gets blamed on the pharmacudical companies, expect the last two we have left to get out of the business, too. We'll have to get it imported each year. It's not profitable to make it here anymore.
