The amount of deaths they're responsible for has got to be plague like

Can you explain?

Edit: What dipshits downvote questions? A simple explanation would suffice.

Consider the insanely high markup they have for just their insulin in the US. All the stories you may have heard of diabetics having to ration their insulin supplies and still dying alone is horrifying. Now imagine that for every other medicine they make.

Makes total sense. I wasn't thinking of that, because I don't live in a shithole country that actively practices medical extortion.

Be grateful you don't. A lot of us here wish things would be better but we're strangled by bought-off politicians. It can happen to your utopian country too if your people aren't careful.

That's why they downvote your question. You're a troll

I'm sorry. Do you live in that shithole? Are you being medically extorted? Did I hurt your feelings?

Why so unnecessarily aggressive? These aren't the droids you're looking for

Just because I live under a bridge doesn't mean I'm a troll.

Any profit a health company makes is off the backs of suffering.

Nah most the patient deaths are because they couldn't afford the medication. Clearly that couldn't be the fault of the trillion dollar company, right?

Oh look, another too-big-to-fail.

What could possibly go wrong?

They won't get away with this.
