>> Company hikes price 5,000% for drug that fights complication of AIDS, cancer

1. Isn't Obamacare great?

2. If the company is making so much money on it, and if the drug has been around since 1953 it is clearly off-patent, which don't other drug companies just make their own copies of it and compete for the business? That's usually what happens when government isn't over-regulating. Competition swells to avail itself of the excess profits, until economic equilibrium is reached. Evidently, something is getting in the way of normal market processes. What you do you think that might be?
