It's not. In Canada anyway. I am unfamiliar with the US.
In Canada drugs are priced at cost versus benefit.
Any new molecule invented that betters our lives comes from for profit big pharma research. Billions are spent. And the potential profit drives the innovation/research.
Every one of us likely has several loved ones who are alive today and/or enjoy some quality of life from this for profit research.
And yes - any time there is the potential for those kinds of profits, there will be those who act unethically, both individuals and corporations.
This guy is a piece of ####.
