Americans social contract is more about money than about their fellow man. Case in point, Epi-pen, assumed actual cost $30, sale price $600. They would still be doing great if they only cost $50.
- mirimir 10y agoYes, it's about money. Monetization of intellectual property. Whether it's entertainment, software, drugs or medical devices. Regarding EpiPen, epinephrine has been generic for many decades, but the device is still protected by patent.
