I’m not sure that these price increases weren’t actually tacitly agreed to by the GOP Senate and House members beforehand. The way it works is that Pharma charges very high prices for all their new drugs, but also any drug that a patient might need to save their life. The GOP does not care about people that can’t afford to pay huge sums of money for diseases we have treatments for. It’s why they despise the ACA and Medicaid. A dead cost - as in patient with needs - to the system, even at the state level, is a welcome thing. They only thing that is stopping them is that they still need some live people to vote for them. If that changes, expect no state or the feds - as Trump was saying the other day - to have money to spend on any health care at all.
