This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
If Big Pharma is so corrupt to make prices unaffordable to those most in need of the drug, then absolutely Heinz was in the right to steal it. This scenario would have only been sweeter if Heinz also murdered the chemist for good measure.
If nobody can afford it then they have to cut their profit margin to make any sales.

THE FREE MARKET STRIKES AGAIN!

No, because predatorial market #2, Insurance, swoops in and buys them the drug at full price, sustaining the ridiculous cost and also forcing the couple to pay for it for the rest of their lives.
Insurance in its current state and medicare/medicaid is a all a government organized scam to extort more money from us, so no.
You literally just agreed with me.
The government doesn't belong in the free market like that.

Exactly.

We're both saying the same thing.
The free market isn't working because the gubbermint is interfering.

There's not enough time to fix the system, a woman is dying.

1. Yes, because I don't believe anything is as black and white as these things can most of the time present, and the chemist is morally bankrupt if he's not giving a helping hand. Greed is evil. In the end though, this really plays into the age old philosophy of the ends justifying the means. I like to go on a case by case basis personally.

2. Absolutely I think it would. People will care more for those they love and have an impact on their lives.

3. Maybe in the more rare cases, but I can assume almost everyone would go "that's unfortunate..." and shrug and move on. It's natural human emotions.

4. No, I don't think so. Unless he was dangling this drug in the persons face and blackmailing them for it, I don't think so. He's a piece of shit, but I don't think he broke the law by any means until the pharmaceutical company bought it off of him and started to distribute it. That's where the regulations would come into play. The man still discovered it himself, so he has every right to it.
