2. Pharmaceutical companies don't want their obscene profitability exposed.

Due to the prevailing attitudes of the stock market, it perfectly OK to do anything possible to increase profits and therefore show increasing margins. Thereby, stock prices go up. The pharmaceutical industry pushes this practice to the absolute limit just because they can. If this was done with groceries or gasoline, there would be riots.

But we almost never see a company take a reverse measure in that regard to benefit customers or employees. Wall Street would punish the company brutally.

And, when they claim they're doing something to benefit customers, it's always bullshit.......
