1. 'Patients Are Our First Concern' LOL

PROFITS are their ONLY concern!

2. This cannot be said too many times.

I had to give this a rec to get it back up to 0!

3. And when they win this battle, they can jack up their non-negotiable prices even more.....

...... Yes, the corporations know we are their bee-yotches.

4. And "whose money" did they use? Well ours of course! All the profits that they could have

taken to make needed meds available at much better costs. This is a crime. They have no right to be doing what they are doing to people and animals. They should be called on the carpet now and silenced forever.

5. Right now, it's not a matter of 'If', it's just a matter of 'how much'.

But our political process is obviously for sale.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

6. That's almost a complete bonus.

I'm impressed.

[waiting for hope]

7. I keep thinking that better things could be done

with that money - like research and development, finding ways to streamline production so the prices are lower .. ya know, things that make sense, instead of throwing it at congress to get a deal.

9. Even the title is slanted.

10. Profits over people!
