          It’s a pharmaceutical company. They’re no saints, but it’s disingenuous to compare them to people who take money and provide nothing but a rubber stamp.

            Did everyone forget about scumbag Martin Shkreli who raised medication prices for no reason other than he wanted more money?

            “In September 2015, Shkreli was widely criticized when Turing obtained the manufacturing license for the antiparasitic drug Daraprim and raised its price to insurance companies from $13.50 to $750.00 (USD) per pill.”

              Martin worked at Retrophin and Turing Pharmaceuticals but mostly he was a hedge fund manager.

              Got nothing to do with Parker or Mangione.

                    We both know the ultra wealthy have a well recorded history of disregarding ethics and human rights when it comes to obtaining more wealth.

                    I don’t know why you decided you dislike my perspective so much, but I’m good. Have a nice day sir or madam.

            They don’t even do that. Their incentive is to deny coverage. They’re not healthcare insurance companies, they’re healthcare rationing companies. And we pay them.
