Today (22/08/2016) the PM Programme on Radio 4 has a piece on buying medicines (specifically for Hepatitis C) and gross over-charging by Gilead - just 35 billion so far and plenty more to come. Skip to about 39.00 minutes in to 45.17.

"What a load of rubbish." Not the program - the state of affairs.

Yes, I heard that. Bloody hell if I had hep c I'd be doing it too. The doctor interviewed seemed pretty matter-of-fact about the whole thing. I imagine this buying club model may be necessary in the future when we have fewer options for getting our t3 and ndt online.
