The price of asthma medication has soared in the U.S. over the past decade and a half.
The pharmaceutical company Teva sells QVAR RediHaler, a corticosteroid inhaler, for $286 in the U.S.
In Germany, Teva sells that same inhaler for $9.

I propose a law, that for every case of rapacious pricing, we are entitled to choose one Pharma CEO, and then cook and eat them.
Let us take sustenance from those who would price us into death.😐

The DOJ could look at real market power abuse like this that bankrupts average Americans or makes simple medications unaffordable. Instead, they’re suing Apple, whose generally not-poor customers choose to buy iPhones over competing alternatives, over f’in green chat bubbles.
Or they could look at an actual monopoly and monopsony who has been abusing that power for ages in Ticketmaster.
Merrick Garland needs to be replaced.
