Sorry, the implication was that it’s “easy to do” insofar as simply getting it from a pharma manufacturer.

The problem is getting the drugs you need is not easy to do, and while 4 thieves isn’t “easy” yet, it actually is way easier than arguing with insurance, needing a PA, getting a letter of medical necessity, only to still get rejected, and then having to argue with your state insurance board through an IMR.

That’s what I meant. All it takes is one or a few people to start doing this for friends, and it begins to spread.

And that says nothing of when Shkreli or anyone else jacks up the price of an important life-saving medication simply because, well, they can.
