america is so fucking based man

in any proper country that company at least gets forced to pay by the government then ordered to shut down forever due to wanton cruelty. all the employees get generous severance except whoever made that call. depending upon your view of carceral punishment there are a few ways to go with that guy.

Revenue is probably the wrong word. “Stock Price” or “value” or whatever. You know what I mean though.

No, I don't know what you mean. Because you're clearly confusing what insurers do and what pharmas do.

Wait, so Insurance companies aren’t publicly traded companies with stockholders? Dropping a covered drug so they wouldn’t have to pay out isn’t protecting their stock price? Maybe I am confused.

What are you even talking about? You are confused, mate.
