Pharmaceutical jacks up drug prices - Clinton challenges price gouging

[shenmue]

BBC story here

From the article:

On Wall Street, biotech shares fell sharply on Monday after Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton pledged to take action against firms hiking prices for specialty drugs.

"Price gouging like this in the specialty drug market is outrageous," Mrs Clinton said, citing Daraprim.

But, but - she loves Wall Street! She's in the pocket of the big companies!

1. the MSM blamed the fall in pharma on her comment. She did the right thing, and I hope they can do

something about this price gouging

[shenmue]

2. Yep

[FreakinDJ]

3. We got lots of Lip Service out of the last Wall St candidate too

So what

[Cha]

4. Mahalo shenmue!

yeah, that's one of their fave things to throw at Hillary.. "but, but, but, wall street!"..

[shenmue]

5. I can only hope

the media noise isn't enough to drown out what she really has to say on this issue.

No doubt, Sanders will say something days later, and his fans will pretend he came up with the idea.

[Cha]

6. Hillary will get her message out in spite of all the USmedia/rw sourced crap being spread to

drown out her message.

Hillary Wins.. they lose.

7. I am so happy this issue is getting out in the light. I would hope someone will be willing to

take action and reimburse whomever for the increase in prices and also a big fine.

8. I'm glad HRC is on this...but

the MSM is really not looking very hard at this...

From ZH:

Not surprisingly, following the biggest plunge in biotech stocks in 2015 - many have speculated that the real goal of Shkreli's actions was to profit by shorting the biotech sector ahead of the selling which his action would have unleashed - and an epic public outcry against the diminutive "hedge fund" manager (his prior company Retrophin recently filed a federal lawsuit against Shkreli alleging that he created the biotech and took it public solely to provide stock to MSMB investors when his hedge fund became insolvent; the suit seeks $65 million in damages).

This guy is a creepy little louse who should be sat on...

9. I think they'll be more interested in digging now

It'll come out.
