Pharmceuticals are the new mafia. It is so unbelievable how they corrupt literally everything from the medical profession to the federal government. I see this shit almost everyday at my job (I work for a local Pharmacy). I'm pretty sure there was a medication recently that had a 500% or so increase in price not mentioned in the article. They can charge this much because insurance is gonna pay in the end. It is one of the most unregulated regions of business, and honestly it is among the strongest lobbies currently in the United States. The amount of money they pour into the federal government through PAC's and 501 (c)(4)'s is disgusting.
