Gotta love big Pharma. They show themselves on TV as loving and caring, even going so far as to claim that if you can't afford one of their miracle drugs they'll help you with acquiring it.

Then, you read something like this and realise that their boardrooms are populated with selfish, pernicious, money grubbing assholes who make illegal street drug dealers look compassionate by comparison.

Disgusting.

There's another industry that should have price regulations imposed.

Given that they are toying with people's lives for profit, I'm kind of surprised that we haven't already.

Canada has every right in the world to make her own policies and regulations. The drug company can either provide the medicine at a negotiated price or Canada can take legal steps to void the patent in Canada.

TPP will probably take care of that.
