I work in biotech. It’s a long, difficult, and expensive process to develop a new therapeutic. It is immensely discouraging to see middlemen riding on the back of biomedical innovation and enriching themselves at the expense of the scientist toiling in the lab all the way to the patient in the hospital.


The prevailing attitude is “it’s already $15,000 a month, no-one’s going to rock the boat if we bump it to $18,000 and pocket the difference.”
