I believe he meant amoral!

Did you know that before 1973 it was illegal in the US to profit off of health care. The Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973 passed by Nixon changed everything."

I knew this already, but if this is news to you, please read the article. Makes my blood boil!

Some of this has to do with a fiduciary duty. They work on behalf of the stockholder and no one else. We need to stop assuming that corporations will do the right thing, they repeatedly prove they do not. They have to be regulated correctly or they can and will exploit people.

Profit does not equal moral. Free would meet an actual moral requirement, I'd actually accept at cost in this capitalist society. When do we stop accepting this bullshit as a society and start doing something about it?

Especially for a drug that been on the market for a long time. He can’t claim reasearch and all that other BS.

This is why we need single payer health insurance that includes drugs. I have Medicare + a small supplemental plan with Excellus and it works!

Yes. It's moral to force people who need a drug to survive to give you their life savings for saving their life. They deserve to be forced into financial ruin to survive so you can have another sports car. Bravo, bravo.

Market forces are not a great way to deal with health care. Market forces have less morals than a crack dealer. The latter would not sell their grandmother, the former will ask what the going rate for grandmothers is.
The USA spends more per capita on Medicaid for a few than the UK spends on the NHS for universal health care. Obama tried to do something about this but from what I glean it was watered down by big Pharma till it became useless.
Ask yourself this. How much of US GDP is spent on health care? What are you getting for your money? How do mortality rates, days lost though illness etc. compare with other counties systems? Add to this the hidden costs. How many go-getters, entrepreneurs or inventors of a better mouse trap etc. Are stuck in a dead-end job because they can't afford to leave the health insurance provided? How much is that costing your country in the long run?

...we just can't get sick
as I purchase my flu shot...
can't miss work time

There are no words to adequately express my disgust.

People should be really glad that I'm not an assassin.

Another moron capitalist trying to justify his immoral life. The irony is rich.

This make sense within the internal logic of capitalism. That's why the whole system is evil. When something evil makes internal sense, the whole system is evil!

We need to learn how to build Guillotines again.

I'm sorry, but the first thing that came to my mind is that I bet this guy identifies himself as a Christian.

Maybe we do need ethics and morality refresher classes

A rational person would not normally pay such prices, but under our system, where insurance is involved, people often don’t even know what the price is. I’m afraid it’s a big free-for-all at the hog trough, and the result is a huge health insurance premium for all.

In a high percentage of cases those bladder and urinary tract cases clear up on their own. Also, Ibuprofen is reported by German doctors to be effective.

IMO the best solution for our bloated healthcare system is to let it collapse. People should refuse to buy insurance. In some cases travel to other countries for treatment is a viable option. If we simply can’t afford the product offered, some of us might die earlier, but so be it. Better to live in abundance for a moderate length of time than to give half your life savings to the greedy healthcare industry and maybe gain a few drugged-up years.

"I think it is a moral requirement to make money when you can . . . to sell the product for the highest price,"
Simply disgusting.

That is the result of greed, wealth and privileged position.

Of course this action is immoral, but here's the thing:

He can do it only because the government granted him a monopoly.

I understand the need for patents - it costs an average of over a billion dollars to bring a drug from the bench to market today. (Again largely attributable to government, but that's a discussion for another day.) Companies need to recoup those costs, and make a profit, in order to justify the initial investment. But it seems to me there needs to be a limit, either on gross margins or perhaps a shortened period of exclusivity.
