No one likes the idea of the price of medicine getting higher. But at the same time, doesn't a pharmaceutical company have a right to charge whatever they want?
Don't we live in a free market? Doesn't the pharmaceutical company have a primary responsibility of making money for their share holders?

After all, they pay for the R&D. What about all the drugs they try to make but fail.

If the price of fuel can go up 150%, then why not drugs? There is also inflation, the cost of doing business, etc.

Again, I'm not suggesting I like the price increases but isn't that just business?
