I have a lot more questions about the pharmaceutical industry than answers. I’m not sure how the industry can change at this point but I hope it does.

I think many of us do!

I absolutely agree with you. This is a very big reason I believe the US doesn’t/won’t have a healthcare system available to everyone. It’s all about profits. Have you heard of Mark Cubin’s Cost Plus Drug Company? He started it so that many Americans who could not afford pharmaceuticals could have access to them.

Thanks Kat. I had heard of his company. I do hope that drug prices become more accessible. I can't imagine paying some of the prices you folks in the US pay.

Yes, exactly why he started it. There is no reason anyone needs to pay big Pharma those ridiculous prices! Those prices are only for the wealthy in this country. There seems to be a scary protection between the hospitals, doctors, pharmaceuticals, insurance, and the middle man here. Also they should absolutely not be allowed to advertise.
