Big Pharma Thinks Ad Campaign Makes Drug Prices Palatable
Now that the post-inauguration dust has mostly settled, the new Commander-in-Chief is setting about the task of fulfilling his promise to “Make America Great Again.” One of his targets is Big Pharma and the industry’s fondness for jacking drug prices so high you almost need the Hubble telescope to see them. Of course, the industry is not about to take this without fighting back. Even Martin Shkreli, Big Pharma’s former bad boy, has some things to say about it (and not what you’d expect). I’m glad I’m sitting down to write this because I’m about to say something I never imagined: I agree with both of these gentlemen, Trump and Shkreli, on this issue.
