    If they had taken the money directly from the patients pockets, they would be in jail for between 7-20 years depending on the total amount they overcharged. Cancer drugs are crazy expensive in general so it could easily be a class 1 felony.

    Oh but just have ‘an algorithm’ do the overcharging and suddenly it’s just a wittle oopsie. Yeah we fucking stole money from vulnerable people grappling with, and trying to fight cancer. And yeah, those fraudulently inflated bills probably caused many people to suffer massive depression and/or forgo live saving treatment. But you have to understand, Brian for an extra free million for himself, and shareholders saw a 1% increase in short term valuation.

    The supreme Court is the next big item after Trump faces the inevitable. Many of them fucking consider corporations legally the same as a person except for when it comes to any type of punishment or negative consequence.

    These traitors are the antithesis of the American people and it’s time for them to water the tree of freedom as penance.
