Hillary Clinton Did you see the outcry last week about the former hedge fund manager who bought up drug patents, then raised the price of medicine for AIDS patients by more than 5000%? He still hasn’t said how much the drug will cost going forward, and in the meantime, sick patients still have to wait and worry and continue to pay $750/pill. So Mr. Shkreli, what’s it going to be? Do the right thing. Lower the cost today to its original price. There are other drug companies gouging Americans with higher prices than they charge other people around the world. We want to reward innovation, but right now consumers don't know if they are buying value or simply subsidizing high profits. That’s why I proposed a plan to make prescription drugs more affordable and hold companies accountable. Force drug manufacturers to justify their prices, make sure they add real value. Require the largest drug manufacturers to invest a minimum amount in R&D. And - a new idea to chew on - let's explore using some of these new research funds to invest directly in producing generic competitors where none exists. -H

1. This is what I appreciate about her. She isn't afraid to call out people when they are wrong.

I am waiting for her to kick some Fiorina ass.

4. yes, I think Hilllary

and her camp have let Carley pretty much alone--well, I have not seen too much anyway--like she did with the China President yesterday. True, she did have a hit on what Carly said about PP a while back after the first little table debate but has she said anything more?? I know she has stood with PP--but that is indirect. Perhaps I am missing something.

2. for every one that gets publicly shamed

(and there are not that many) several more slip under the radar and charge insane prices because the costs are buried in hospital bills.

To me, this is a sign of a sick culture. People like Shkreli don't give a fuck about who gets hurt, as long as they make bigger profits. I don't begrudge profits, but I detest this kind of profiteering.

5. She is correct
