A lot of people here seem to conflate the pharmaceutical companies causing the issue with the entire pharmaceutical industry. Even in the article, the hospital reps say they are specifically targeting the handful of bad actors, like Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Martin Shkreli types, who specialize in buying up cheap/old drugs and jacking up the prices. This is not a group of hospitals trying to take on the entire industry. Nor is it an entire industry taking advantage of hospitals/patients.
