Which shows you that Wall St thinks Hill-Dawg has a good chance to win, or at least thinks she'll exert major influence

I also think Pharmas a good buy now. They'll correct up, this is hit air and it'll be a while before any meaningful legislation even has the possibility of slowing them down.

Anytime Democrats start pointing fingers at pharma it drops, its not because she will win its the rhetoric of greedy pharma making money off ill people

The drug is rarely used, it makes sense that the price would have to be high to be worth manufacturing. If they discontinued manufacturing, nobody would have noticed.

Saying he needs to raise the price in order to fund further research is absolute bullshite. This is the reason we need better price transparency for drugs. People are quick to blame the health insurance companies for the high costs of health care, but what are they supposed to do when Big Pharma is lobbying for capping co-pays on prescriptions like Sovaldi that cost over $80,000 per prescription.

Guys like this are just abusing the system, and it's got to stop.

In the same way that antibiotics are needed by AIDS patients. Not nearly the same as being an HIV/AIDS drug like many people on the Internet are claiming that it is.

All some other company has to do is create another generic, I suppose. I'm not sure, I'm not a biotech/pharma guru
