The city of Marietta, Ga., has filed a class action lawsuit against a drug company after the price of a decades-old medicine went from $40 a vial to more than $39,000.
The city, which covers health care costs for employees and their families, says it has already spent more than $2 million on the drug for a single patient.
Stacie Dusetzina, an associate professor of health policy at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, reviewed the complaint and said it’s indicative of a national problem with market-driven drug prices.

The only thing they have to hold over us is the fact that doctors only believe in pharma drugs.
I asked doctor at one wound clinic if Lavender Oil would do any good with killing the bacteria. He said, "It would do no good." I told him, "You are like an old dog that cannot learn new tricks." ;)

I was getting Cayenne and Garlic capsules to help with my BP. The woman at the store said that stuff had been around longer than the pharma drugs. ;)
