I was under the impression most Pharma Companies will give it to you for free if you don't have insurance and can't afford it. Maybe it's different if you have insurance and they won't pay for it. The article is unfair mentioning Shkreli. He has always offered his drugs for free to anyone that couldn't afford them. It has always been his policy and continues to be so. I think it was the Insurers and their paid for Politicians that created the stink. To this day I still haven't heard of one person that had to pay the $750.00 a pill but just their co-pay and if they had no insurance they got it for free. Surprised this drug isn't available for free for those without insurance or is it?

It's not like insurance companies are paying that $750 a pill in a vacuum. They make those payments out of the premiums they collect. Shkreli may not have been screwing the poor, but that doesn't mean he wasn't screwing everyone else.
