Ask HN: What's wrong with big pharma?
I just read about Martin Shkreli in the news recently and it reminded me of how he still hasn't reduced the prices of the Daraprim drug. So like, why is it that when I hear the term "pharmaceutical company" I associate nonpleasantness? Why is there no significant startup challenging this sector?
