If the drug required for survival is under a monopoly, the price can skyrocket. For example, “Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli raised the price of the malaria and toxoplasmosis drug Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 per pill” (Spoer). Selfish acts such as this are seen as an outrage by many, a death sentence by some, and as a conduit to spark debate by others. In the midst

There are many reasons to why the prices on medical drugs should be capped. One main reason is that the high prices on the drugs are causing patients as well as many ill people of the public to not buy them as they are unable to buy the drugs.
