The crime of greed & profiteering.

Biotech firms want to limit public access to generic drugs. I’m against that. Because it’s wrong to make huge profits on brand name drugs that help treat and cure diseases  They should be made available to everyone. At reasonable cost. Lower costs that come from the generics. It’s the humane and right thing to do. The serving of the common good. The profit-motive doesn’t have to be in everything. The idea is to be altruistic. To benefit mankind. Profit often becomes more than profit. Price-gouging. Obscene. I’m for giving the discoverer of beneficial drugs some pricing advantage. For a while. But not for long. Let’s make greed and exorbitant profiteering a crime.—Jim Broede
