I really don't understand what is not legal with charging what you can for drugs. I'm not a fan of capitalism, but what is not legal or even considered immoral

  the market will bear a surprising amount of people dying because they are too poor to live, and make more profit that way than selling the drugs at low prices to poor people. I'm not a professor of ethics or anything, but I feel like that's probably not super moral. Speaking broadly, I'm not sure we can consider the market to be a moral entity, or at least not while we externalize the costs of im- and amoral behavior.

  > In April 2014, a grocery workers’ health plan sued Sutter and alleged it was violating antitrust and unfair competition laws. The plaintiffs began requesting documents related to contracting practices, such as “gag clauses” that prevent patients from seeing negotiated rates and choosing a cheaper provider and “all-or-nothing” terms that require every facility in a health system to be included in insurance networks. This is an antitrust case, not a “prices are high” case. The post title is misleading.
