Medication costs are simply outlandish, and they can charge whatever they want that’s to the patent system. It’s only when generic drugs hit the market that treatment costs come down. Some drugs are too rare to ever get the generic treatment and the price only goes up.
I recall the case of a five year old girl here in BC who got some rare infection or disease. No problem there is a pill for that. Oh, but it costs $100,000 every 6 months. Thankfully donations from the public and government aid saved the family from that insane fee.
