Davidlaz This is nothing new.. Shareholders couldn't give a rats ass about the sick..

Davidlaz I mean lets be honest here...who thought letting pharma and healthcare companies be for profit was a good idea? If I said to you, hey, let's make a company that profits off sick people...that a full hospital is better than an empty one for bottom line? Lol, terrible idea.

Davidlaz Really? Who would have thought that any company would put profits ahead of people. I’m stunned, shocked and so not surprised.

Davidlaz When a medication you may need costs 10x more at one retail location than it does the other you know the whole system is corrupt. It's not just the drug companies but major pharmaceutical retailers are complicit in this as well. It's time for the American people to stand up.

Davidlaz Something about being profit oriented and paying for additional research and development?

Davidlaz Duh.

Davidlaz “The United States is now an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery.” Jimmy Carter

Davidlaz I've heard that since when I was a kid. I'm 83 years old. Believe it or not !!!

Davidlaz I would say that's the case for majority of companies. It def feels creepy when it's a company involved in health care though, but turns out we CAN put a price on life.

Davidlaz News flash....

Davidlaz How big is this person hands?

Davidlaz In other news, capitalism continues unabated.

Davidlaz It’s good that major news outlets are pointing this out, but... Duh.

Davidlaz I work for a drug company.....regretfully this is true for the vast majority. That said - there are good people at these companies that put patients first. Media usually is not interested in those people.

Davidlaz welcome to capitalism
