My final thought (for now) is that I am a compassionate person, and I think someone needs to help your patient, but it isn't the drug company's responsibility at all to lower what it charges for a drug so people can afford it. The drug company's responsibility is to make money for its stockholders and charge what the market will bear.

BMW can charge $55,000 for its 335xi. Why should it sell it for less? The difference is that no one feels sorry for someone because they can't afford a BMW.
