Drug Company Wank

I'm very tired, so please forgive the slap dash post. Anyway...

Pfizer, maker of several drugs including Lipitor used to lower cholesterol, has launched a lawsuit against several Canadian web sites selling its drugs or knock-offs at a lower cost to Americans. They claim that it's a matter of safety for their users, and that costs are a matter for the insurance companies. However many Minnesota seniors have fired back that it's a matter of money, and are seeking to 'pfix pfizer' as they are unable to afford some of these life-saving medications.

There are a lot of questions that come up with this fight. Even though the drug company has the legal right, should they be allowed to fleece a generation with no other options? If these seniors pull off a victory, what does it mean for your insurance and the drug companies?
