If you or someone you know has asthma, you've probably noticed that the price of inhalers has jumped—from as little as $5 a few years ago to as much as $60 today. How'd that happen? The answer is a case study in how drug companies turned a well-meaning environmental regulation into an opportunity to suck billions from consumers.
I don't know what planet they live on if they think inhalers were ever five bucks- maybe they mean insurance co-pay?
But the price gouging by Big Pharma remains despicable. And inevitable, as long as we allow for-profit companies to prey on sick Americans.
