LOL at not taking any pharma money he earns, some of his former employers seem to think he essentially took/misused tens of millions from them in improper fashion. Also, "everyone who can't afford it gets it free." No, that's really not true with any drug. A portion of people will, but a much, MUCH larger portion will end up going into debt when their insurance will cover a portion but not nearly enough to make the drug affordable at any dosage, or they make doctors come back with alternatives that cost a LOT less but are also less effective. Martin doesn't mention that shit, but its realer than real deal Holyfield. His price-gouging has real world effects on people who are in no position to do anything about it.

The entire industry is crooked, but Martin puts the rest of them to shame. He's not doing anything new, he's just doing it on a scale most rational people would never consider. You can say not to snap judge him off liberal pundits, and let me assure you I did not. I would say to you, don't judge him by what he says about himself or by the words of people who's only concern is the money being made.
So don't take his word for it but take former disgruntled employees word for how he allocated and misused 10s of millions of dollars? K. He's running a publically traded company, the books are open. He is not making any money off of daraprim. He's reinvesting $$$ back into research to find a possibly better version of Daraprim though. Also he's raised prices on a lot of drugs that he owns but of course, lib media just wanted to get those hooks in on one. BTW it's not his fault that he's in business, he's a capitalist not a socialist. That's sort of how the bingo runs around these parts. Clearly the media built this up to an unfathomable level, even yourself just said what he's done by raising prices is not new.

My entire point is he's not as bad as the liberal media has tried to portray him to be.

c'mon Lewis.

The SEC has had this imbecile in their sights for a long time. but just like Jordan Belfort, Uncle Sam takes forever. his time will come, just like the Wolf Of Wallstreets did.
