TomBon I don’t think Angstrom meant doctors, necessarily.But we have built healthcare into a money-making system.Is it ethical to profit off of the suffering of others?How do you feel about the case of Martin Skhreli, imprisoned (for securities fraud, no surprise) CEO of defunct Turing Pharmaceuticals, who obtained rights to a lifesaving drug and jacked its price up from 13.5/prescription to over $750.00?Shkreli said it was just capitalism at work, while people died and even insurance companies reeled under the strain.But cool, right? As long as it doesn’t effect you or your kid?Gotta love the American Way…
