    ‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli boasts he has ‘a 150 IQ and no overt psychological issues

    "Martin Shkreli wanted to show the world his shrink's analysis — to prove his smarts and emotional stability, according to court documents.
    “I want to watch the press squirm when they see I have a 150 IQ and no overt psychological issues,” the Pharma Bro wrote in a January email from jail, according to sentencing papers.
    In a footnote, prosecutors said the psychological evaluation supplied by the defense didn't say Shkreli had an IQ of 150. But the evaluation did offer diagnoses for certain conditions, the filing noted."

    If Martin Shkreli is so intelligent, then why is he in jail?

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    apparently his IQ is at least 1 point lower than that needed to stay out of jail

    Another pharma colossal rip-off...

    The problem with prescription drug prices
    6 May,`18 - What one city did to fight high drug prices reveals a drug supply chain in which just about every link can benefit when prices go up
    Every company can make profits, but this is profiteering. This is gouging.The Rockford File is the story of how one very expensive prescription drug threatened to financially cripple an entire city. That city is Rockford, Illinois, an old industrial town outside of Chicago. Rather than using a health insurance company, Rockford has, for years, paid its own health care costs for its 1,000 employees and their dependents. When Rockford got hit with the drug bill it was so enormous the mayor at the time set out to understand why. Larry Morrissey: Everybody's asking the question, "Why is health care so expensive?" Because the fix is in. That's the answer. That's the short answer. When Larry Morrissey was mayor of Rockford he was hit with a crisis: the city was bleeding money.


    Correspondent Lesley Stahl with Don Haviland

    Lesley Stahl: You found out that the health care budget was going bust.

    Larry Morrissey: Yea, the budget was out of control.

    Lesley Stahl: And you had to squeeze other things. Like what?

    Larry Morrissey: Hiring police and firefighters. Keeping firetrucks and other equipment on the streets. We started realizing that pharmaceutical costs were skyrocketing.


    Express Scripts HQ

    Lesley Stahl: And I heard that it was just one drug.

    Larry Morrissey: One particular drug called Acthar.

    In 2015, two small children of Rockford employees were treated with Acthar, a drug that's been on the market since 1952. It's used to treat a rare and potentially fatal condition called infantile spasms that afflicts about 2,000 babies a year.

    Lesley Stahl: Do you remember how much was on the budget for those two babies?

    Larry Morrissey: We were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for these sick baby cases.

    Lesley Stahl: Close to $500,000-- is what we heard.

    Larry Morrissey: Combined, yeah.

    Lesley Stahl: Combined.

    Larry Morrissey: Yeah.

    Agreed; it hurts those most vulnerable and can least afford it. It's tough to get change for the better since the corporate lobbyists have most members of congress eating out of their hand.

    Do you want the government to direct privately owned businesses?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Should the government run the corporations?
