Company hikes price 5,000% for drug that fights complication of AIDS, cancer

You guys? I don't think anyone has an attitude at all. We are telling it like it is, you just don't like that that's how it is. Unfortunately for all of us, these are also not OUR policies. :dunno:

I'm not arguing the details about insurance. I'm arguing mainly his general attitude about this being a none issue and the media is just running with a headline.

Ok, understood. I guess my question is more about making a clear point to turbo that his "i work in health care so I know all" attitude is simply wrong. To pretend that people wont be effected by this is ridiculous. Not everyone has amazing insurance. Some people have average and crappy insurance, some people have no insurance. In any case, increasing the cost by such an extraordinary amount WILL AND DOES have an effect.

P.S. I am not insisting that EVERYONE with insurance is suffering. I am insisting that SOME may be suffering and this that move is effecting people!

But there are MANY people suffering every.single.day. This one pill that helps one group of people is just a needle in a haystack. I don't think he is saying they don't matter or that nobody is ever affected. He is trying to point out that this is happening all across the healthcare board. Whether it be services, prescriptions, whatever. You don't see it because you don't follow healthcare. Yes, it sucks. You wonder how someone can deny a person that is suffering. But it happens and it happens often.

And that's all he has to say. I get that point and I understand it. Instead he talks in a way that makes me want to snap his fucking neck.

It's the roid rage talking. Disregard.

It is something even if common needs to change. This is why our healthcare costs in general are so high. Even if your deductible hasn't changed the insurance companies sure won't eat the cost so it will be passed back down to all of us in the form of higher premiums. Price hikes of this magnitude cannot be acceptable.

Look at that. Looks like we didn't need the big bag government to step in. A lab with sense and an entrepreneurial spirit stepped up to the plate.
