Big Pharma’s Sneaky Trick
An excellent piece in today’s New York Times lays out how Big Pharma has been promising to cut costs of its drugs (to the tune of $8 billion a year) to help make health care reform happen while at the same time it’s going around raising the prices of its drugs to the tune of $9 billion a year. That’s such typical behavior by the drug companies that I’m hardly surprised. They are a truly brazen bunch.
You just had to know that with Big Pharma openly supporting health care reform and alleged cost-cutting that something funny had to be going on. Now, we know what it was.
