Just to add on here, I have cystic fibrosis and I take a drug that "costs" $400k+ per year, and I will be taking it for the rest of my life. Argentina produces a version through an obscure patent law loophole they found for like $10k. It's all absurd and fucked.
In a decent world, this would be considered something part of an outlandishly unbelievable horror story, medicine necessary to treat a genetic disorder costing tens of thousands
The whole US healthcare system feels like a scam. No, this drug obviously doesn't cost $40k. Fuck off

Amerikkka is a death kkkult.
This is for muscular dystrophy? How fucking evil charge so much.
Looks like money laundering.

This should be a criminal offense
It would be if pharma lobbyists didn't write the laws.
