We use to have media and government that investigated wrongdoings -- I think that was 50 years ago.

Now we are stuck with a "mafia system" ruled by political figures being bribed or blackmailed on anything that benefits the American people.

Bernie Sanders called for an investigation of why Insulin Prices have risen 700% since 1996% --- where is the media leading that charge???? I bet if Insulin were made in RUSSIA they would tie it to Trump.

Who looks out for THE PEOPLE .... these companies are fleecing the people and it has gone on long enough.

This collusion -- not the FAKE Russia crap --- but real collusion.

Hmm, these is called corruption.... I believe that our leader on sit in the government house will not cried out loud and ask for authority to go for investigation, simply because of there selfish and personal interest.... They know that as the case maybe will earn more on it. Thanks for the information.

You are welcome. Thanks for your comments.

If one were to look at the insulin scene, it's basically one giant conglomerate controlling the supply. It's an artificial monopoly; government interference can break it off, but the problem stems from the laws on intellectual property. I'd say that a decrease in the duration of exclusivity in which a particular product can be singularly produced by an entity would help a lot.

Although were that to happen, you'd likely see a flight in intellectual capital as they'd be registering their patents under Fuhrer Merkel's Fourth Reich instead. So it's a bit more complex to deal with.

maybe so...I have.a feeling if they wanted to influence this they could....thank you for your comments.
