Angry Drug Makers Continue to Raise Prices On Older Drugs

Apparently, in addition to the high costs of new meds, Pfizer and other drug manufacturers have been raising the prices of older brand name meds for years...

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...it-s-not-alone

They say the costs aren't felt by consumers because insurance companies negotiate prices, but doesn't that effect the price of healthcare in the long run? And what about consumers who have no insurance and don't qualify for their help programs?

This makes me angry.
