Sixty Minutes - Outraged

Posted: May 7th, 2018 - 7:47 am

If anyone watched 60 Minutes last night you would have heard about an American drug company that jacked up the price of a drug -what- 10,000 times? The drug that costs $30 in Canada costs over $40,000 in the U.S. So would some of the Trump supporters out there please tell me why you get so upset about money being used to help the homeless yet never seem to care about outrages like the one above. This is not the only incidence of price-gouging.
