Who's to blame for the NHS drug prices ripoff?

Free market, my arse!

If only we had a government that wasn't chin deep in pharmaceutical shares and boardroom retirement plans.

If my company couldn't buy an elbow for less than an arm and a leg, I'd be building an elbow factory, if for nothing else than to lower my costs.

Then why, with all the expertise that the NHS has, are we not churning out our own generic drugs?

They do it in many parts of the world, much to the chagrin of established pharma, but a little bit of chagrin is nothing compared to saving the lives of millions.
