There’s 1 major problem with this. What if a poor person without health insurance finds this? What if someone picks it up off the ground and gets cured of rabies without ruining their life in medical debt? Won’t someone think of the shareholders? How will capitalism survive if people start picking these up off the ground instead of paying $60k per pill?
I doubt many people actually pay that much for their meds.
They’ll go broke instead, eternally in debt, unable to save up enough or get a credit for, say, buying a house to save on horribly inflated rent prices, always living in fear of being fired and ending up homeless until they get arrested for not having a home to sleep in, sent to for-profit prisons at the expense of other taxpayers, possibly even put to work as a legal slave…
…but I can’t imagine the pharma company doesn’t actually get all of those 60k on average. Maybe 20k-40k - hardly enough to pay their shareholders, let alone their insurance subsidiaries’ employees for the soul-crushing job of listening to patients breaking down because the insurance won’t cover their child’s life-saving treatment for some reason rep, patient, doctor and executives all know is bullshit.
