According to the article, Pharmacy Benefit Managers are as much to blame for the increasing costs of drugs as the manufacturers. I suspect that's partly true, but I also suspect the "percentage of blame" is being ignored here

Funny thing about that - I suspect doing either of those would be 10x harder than terraforming Mars. Why? Because there are no Martians to complain about the ecological havoc your changes are making, or to complain that you are depriving th
