Well... Those companies spent possibly BILLIONS of dollars creating the drugs. For every 1 drug that gets approved and sent to market , 20 fail. They need to recover the research and development costs of these drugs. Without the profit motive they wouldn't bother risking BILLIONS on creating new and better drugs. Before you shit talk capitalism make sure you know what you are talking about. Sure there are some very corrupt pharma companies. But in general, them charging a lot for drugs they have created is what keeps the innovation machine rolling

Honesty I'm sure not ALL of it is... Dangerous. But I bet a lot of it is. What needs to be done is for pharmacies to lower their prices, this all leads back to poor health care. Some people cannot get a doctor, let alone afford to see one, not everyone is blessed with insurance. Think about it around 80$ for an appointment, a fee at the pharmacy ect ect. It's ridiculous people are punished for being sick. I live in Canada so health care is covered by taxes.. However paying for expensive meds with no coverage is so difficult. And the wait for seeing a doctor in the hospital or clinic is 5-8 hours if not more. So sometimes people cannot afford the time to take... If they work and such ect. Also doctors here are hesitant to prescribe any pain killers so people in legitament pain get desperate. It's not right. You either get no help in Canada or all the help if you're on government assistance. Though even then..: it's not all what people seem to think anyways. Moral of this rant is I don't blame the people buying it, how much you wanna bet most are low income? If not all. I don't blame the people selling it. It's OBVIOUS they're also low income from where they're living / how they act ect ect. What they wear... I could go on. This whole situation is just so sad.
@maggiep90075 жыл бұрын
The problem is having to pay 200 dollars to a doctor to get a confirmation of disease, THEN getting to pay $100 for a month of medicine. The problem is overregulation of dispensing of fda approved meds. The pharmacies lower their prices as much as they can on non-prescription meds.
