america is so fucking based man

in any proper country that company at least gets forced to pay by the government then ordered to shut down forever due to wanton cruelty. all the employees get generous severance except whoever made that call. depending upon your view of carceral punishment there are a few ways to go with that guy.

    The cost of the drug. Since the US refuses to socialize Healthcare, people can’t afford insurance if companies can charge millions for their dosages, and keep getting higher. My insurance at work covers me, but adding family is already at $800/month. My take home pay (without family insurance) amounts to $2,200 a month.

    Companies charging millions for cures in the US means only the wealthy get to be fixed.
