20 years in fed basically means you serve almost the full term. It's not like state where a 20 year sentence is often more like 7 or 8 years served.

Not true. For any not mandatory Federal sentence there is an 85% good behavior service rate after which one will get released without serving the remaining 15% of their sentence. The level of misbehavior required to Forfeit that 15% credit would be along the lines of stabbing the warden.

That's what I meant. 85% is practically the full term, at least in comparison to state where you get double time.

He jacked up the prices, and within months, another company began compounding an alternative priced at $1 a pill. That is the free market and consumer power at work.

With that being said, I'm open to requiring some degree of price stickiness, such as requiring a 60-day notice before increasing prices on life-saving drugs, or allowing existing patients to fill their scripts at the old price for 60 days after a price increase for more "quality of life" drugs. That would competitors in the market a chance to react to the price increases before they happen, and give patients the opportunity to visit a doctor to perhaps modify their treatment.

Sure, I understand your feelings. I do agree that your goals are worthy ones. My problem is that I principally differ from the methods implied.

Indeed. Your first priority is quite clear: the preservation of private property rights, the profit motive, and protection of the allegedly "invisible hand" of the capitalist market system. The interests of humanity which, in this instance, are sufferers of AIDS, are at best of second priority to the preservation of the integrity of your beloved free market. Humans and human interests take a back seat to the profit-motive. If that's the philosophy you want to embrace, that's your business, but don't feign sympathy for those negatively affected by it.
