Big Pharma Has Open Contempt for the People Who Make Them So Rich

If you wonder why Congress critters keep ignoring what the people want them to do while doing things that people dont want them doing take a peek at the unique PR campaign now being run by the pharmaceutical industry.
The public is dismayed and disgusted by the flagrant greed of drugmakers that are shamefully zooming the prices of medicines into the stratosphere, turning necessities into unaffordable luxuries. As a result, theres a growing demand for Congress to take action to stop the industrys out-of-control price gouging.
To counter this, drug companies have launched a massive advertising campaign. Theyre running ads on radio, in print, and on Facebook and Twitter painting themselves as the good guys.
Yet you probably havent seen or heard any of them. Thats because drug chieftains dont care what you and I think. Moreover, they know they couldnt possibly persuade us to let them keep jacking up their prices.
