I agree. I don't think it's really necessary to "regulate" them further though. They are second only to banks in govt. regulations already.
No. What needs to happen is stopping the corruption in Washington D.C. that allows Big Pharma to price-gouge the American people.
They get away with charging us so much because they spend so many hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbying Congress.
They basically own the politicians here.
All I 'm saying is that the govt. should stop them from price gouging. But the govt. itself is in on the scam.
It's outright theft and it's been going on my entire lifetime.
