If the drug companies had limits on their profit margins, they would have limited advertising dollars to invest. There are NO limits on how much they can charge. In some instances they sell .02¢ pill at a 2,000% mark up.

Drug companies have absolutely zero regulation, and have only superficial competition (they are in effect a monopolistic cartel). As a home builder, if I could do that on just one 2,400 square foot home I would only have to build one house, and then retire for life. Much as I'd like to be set for life, I could not do that and still like myself.

The corruption begins on Capitol Hill, and it can only end there,…but it won't. I'm not being cynical…that's just the way it is.

Of course the drug companies would not mention lifestyle changes as an alternative to their medications rather, something that can possibly assist their medications, they don't want to damage their bottom line. In the end it is all about whose pockets are the deepest, and most easily decieved.
