There's an easy fix for this. That's for families of anyone unable to get the drug to sue Turing for wrongful death. It would be an easy suit to win. Doctors get successfully sued for malpractice and wrongful death for far less egregious things all the time. It could even attract class action status pretty easily if it's widespread enough. Turing would be out of business in about 2 seconds, and the drug would be on the cheap again.
