Look at the pill that cures Hepatitis C. It's over $1000 per pill. I don't see many people bitching about that.  |
That's because the average person is an idiot. Instead of trying to figure out why our health care costs are what they are the simple minded thing is to blame Obama and argue why pharmaceuticals are justified in charging what they do. Meanwhile in just about every other modern country they are capped in what they can charge except here.
