2 weeks after Sleaze bag Shkreli announced he would lower the price of Daraprim, price still same

It's been two weeks since Turing CEO Martin Shkreli announced he would scale back the price of his drug, and so far nothing has really changed.

The biotech leader came under fire last month for his 5,000% price hike of Daraprim, a drug that fights parasitic infections.

The drug, which rose from $13.50 to $750 seemingly overnight, left the biotech and pharmaceutical industries reeling, with corporations such as Valeant facing a lot of criticism for their similar price-hike moves.

In September, he told ABC News, “We’ve agreed to lower the price of Daraprim to a point that is more affordable and is able to allow the company to make a profit, but a very small profit."

The right of a government or its agent to expropriate private property for public use, with payment of compensation.


I have no qualms about seizing this greedy sociopath's property for the public good.
