rehmwa 2 #2 October 23, 2015 I'm a little scared.... Are you saying that the free market responded with a $1 pill and this competitor is going to take away business from a company that tried to shaft the public with a $750 pill? They saw a market opportunity and took it, without the government passing some law? I'm outraged!! We can't let this happen!!!!!! The free market is evil. I'm sure that there is a SOME solution that congress can put forth to force the price down to like $300 or so and then increase taxes so that those that need it will be subsidized for that expense. snicker - Imprimis is even doing this and still getting a jab in for overregulation......“While we have seen an increase in costs associated with regulatory compliance, recent generic drug price increases have made us concerned and caused us to take positive action to address an opportunity to help a needy patient population.” Congress and the Exec are going to have to somehow shut this down now that they are called out. (or somehow try to take credit) ...

Tim Walberg explain to his constituents in Michigan how he's "fighting for the little guy" without such opportunities to chastise and pontificate? I find it a bit peculiar that you're singling out Walberg by name since this whole prescription drug thing has been (D-MD) Elijah Cummings' pet project since 2011 along with Bernie Sanders starting in 2014. "For more than a year, I have pressed the Committee to investigate the skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs, and I’m pleased that the Chairman has now agreed to hold this hearing,” Cummings said." http://democrats.oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/tuesday-oversight-committee-holds-drug-pricing-hearing-long-sought-by-cummings Cummings' statement to Shkreli: "Mr. Shkreli was subpoenaed to appear before Congress, and it is his responsibility to take reasonable steps to comply. If he plans on trying to use his own intentional inaction as some kind of bogus excuse for not showing up at Tuesday’s hearing, people will see right through such a juvenile tactic. I hope he reconsiders his current course and avoids any additional legal action against him." http://democrats.oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/cummings-issues-statement-on-martin-shkreli-s-subpoena-to-appear-before More Info: Cummings' and Sanders' Investigation: http://democrats.oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/cummings-and-sanders-investigate-staggering-price-increases-for-generic-drugs How it all started - scroll down for 4 pages of press releases history: http://democrats.oversight.house.gov/investigations/investigation-of-skyrocketing-prescription-drug-pricesNever was there an answer....not without listening, without seeing - Gilmour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
