As someone said, they are a powerful lobby and its all dictated by money.

Yesterday, I get a letter from Anthem letting me know a BP med I take is "contaminated". I go to the pharmacy and get a replacement. I then check online about this. 40% (minimum) of our prescription meds are manufactured in China & India. The Big Pharma companies are simply middlemen. Their whine about the cost of manufacturing is as credible as my cats screaming about never being fed in their entire lives. And FORGET about quality control.

supply and demand ( greed )

But SCIENCE!!!!!! How dare you question Big Pharma!
It's the Precious! You must do the thing or you die! Science!

Capitalism is not required to have morals, or to do the "right thing for the greater good".
All that is required is to make money.
Big Pharma is in the business of making as much money as they possibly can.

Because Congress is owned by Big Pharma. And any cons who suggest tRump is here to change that, "show me the money"
