"What I discovered is that... [pharmaceutical corporations] don't, by and large, invent medicines. They behave like hedge funds. They buy the rights to produce medicines that have been made by others - with public money, or at small biotech companies - and then they squeeze the most they possibly can out of those drugs Whatever the consequences are to society... [or] how unaffordable they are."
