In this corner, wearing the red trunks, we have powerful, profitable, unchallengeable pharma.

In this corner, wearing the blue trunks, we have working class poor, struggling for the gift of life by obtaining much needed medicine, in all too many cases at grossly inflated and outrageous prices for the sake of greed.

Who wins in this fight, the Lear jet or the old 2002 Ford Focus? When did fucking over the disadvantaged with pride and glee become acceptable to anybody?

How sad, so sad.
