So, I'm being naive here, but why don't people sue when they know this is the case? Like, it's a bit of a stereotype that American's are fairly litigious, but if you know that you're being swindled, can't you take them to court?

Non-American here, trying to understand.

Are these prices after insurance? If you have insurance through work, and you've paid a premium for "good" insurance (assuming you can do that for your family), are you still paying insane amounts for medicine and hospital care?

If it's covered under insurance then it's $5-$30 (depending on policy) for a co-pay and that's it. If it's not covered under your policy then it's eleventy bajillion dollars. The insurance will also pull stupid shit like not letting you pick up your refill early, or making you get some other medication that is similar, but not what your doctor prescribed. Of course the insurance company doesn't pay eleventy bajillion dollars, they've negotiated it down to 50¢, but that's what you'll pay if you don't have insurance.

"IP" is completely regulated otherwise people could sell for less.

For the next...forever, I want to know who you voted for before I'm going to listen to your sob story or show you any empathy.

Welcome to corporate America. This country cares about corporations, not people or labor.

Simple. You need it to live and will pay the cost.

And iron infusions are not fun to begin with.

Eat red meat and black olives? Iron is like 6% of the earths crust. It’s everywhere.
