OK, Evil DUers: What do we do about Martin Shkreli and Turing Pharmaceuticals?

38. Make this the poster child example ...

why we need to change our patent laws - OR - if we (our govt) is too weak to stand up to such abuse (the same course [to cure] of medicine, from my reading, would cost under $200 in the UK and Canada, but prior to the hike would cost around $1350 (same medicine) in the US - and NOW will cost more than $75,000 in the US) to get rid of the ban on drug importation. And to disabuse the idea that the US has the best heal care in the world.

Compare $200 for a full course (Canada & UK) of treatment to $75,000 (US). Yea US citizens - bankruptcy for anyone outside of the top 20+% who get a parasitic illness that could be cured by this drug. Who would not be bankrupted for the same illness in many other developed countries. Aren't we privileged to be required to pay more than $74,000 than people in the UK or Canada.
