If tax payer money goes into the research then the government should be able to state the price limits. The newest form of price gouging is for the drug companies to limit how much they make of old generic s that have been around for decades creating an artificial shortage. These are generics for cancer and other life threatening illnesses and drugs needed for surgery so to force a higher price. This too is unconscionable and needs to be addressed with prison for the ceos who make those decisions.
