• Some blame the drug companies. I don't. They are corporations. Their managers are ordered by law to make money for the corporation.

And it only makes them the most money because of a certain corruption within our political system-a corruption the drug companies are certainly not responsible for. The corruption is our own politicians' failure of integrity.
