  1. Sounds like what Perdue Pharma execs said when advocates and officials tried to appropriately regulate oxy contin.

    Pharma execs always try to pretend they’re worried about patients and little people when faced with regulation. What they actually care about is profit. Don’t get me wrong – I have no issue with profit. But don’t try to tell us you don’t like price negotiation because you’re worried about consumers. Price negotiation leads to market efficiency and balance and benefits consumers.

    Are any of us worried that big pharmaceutical companies will be struggling? I think not

    1. You should read John Abramson’s book “The Sickening” discusses a lot of the regulations that Pharma has lobbied for not allowing full review of clinical trials and access to data. This is a perfect example of the Gaslighting the execs try to pull time and time again.
