      The free market isnt insanely subsidized by the govt.

      Taxpayers paid for nearly ALL the research that went into those drug patents.

        Hopefully people get the sarcasm in my comment.

        Drugs like everything else can’t follow the free market. Free market means more wealth for the wealthiest and nothing for the 99%.
