Saw some of it. Besides offer some righteous indignation I don't think most of committee knew what to do or what to ask. Outrageous drugs prices are an issue. But political pandering/questioning doesn't necessarily get to the heart of the matter.

Some services are for the "common good" I consider drugs to be in that category. At some point in time nearly everyone's life will be affected by the availability and affordability of medication. I can see an argument for price control on this industry.

I feel Big Pharm should be controlled absolutely. They're profiting off peoples lives. People shouldn't live or die depending on if they can afford a medication or not.

The Epi Pen is cheaper in Canada.
