If you want to get angry, read this series of stories of people who can't afford their prescription medications and ask yourself whether your health and life should depend on how much money you make. And ask how people still advocate a free-market approach to health care when there is no free market and pharmaceutical manufacturers charge astronomical prices purely because they can -- when there's no "free market" because people need the drugs just to survive and aren't in a position to dictate pricing by holding out or buying an alternative, we have an untenable situation. How should we proceed? Because this isn't working. (New York Times)
