This needs to be the primary message right now. The American healthcare system is mega-fucked because big pharma has figured out how to lobby to get treatments eligible for generic manufacturing once they go off patent to be memory-holed by the medical field through the education system. Medical treatment prices have skyrocketed because there is no protection from the pharma. They can kick the price of a drug that costs $1.00 per treatment to manufacture up to $1000.00 per treatment to consume If they can purchase the rights to manufacture. Just look at what they have done to the Epipen.
