Quote reblogged from so we beat on

People have no problem paying $900 for an iPad,” Santorum said, “but paying $900 for a drug they have a problem with — it keeps you alive. Why? Because you’ve been conditioned to think health care is something you can get without having to pay for it.”

The mother said the boy was on the drug Abilify, used to treat schizophrenia, and that, on paper, its costs would exceed $1 million each year.

“He’s alive today because drug companies provide care,” Santorum said. “And if they didn’t think they could make money providing that drug, that drug wouldn’t be here. I sympathize with these compassionate cases. … I want your son to stay alive on much-needed drugs. Fact is, we need companies to have incentives to make drugs. If they don’t have incentives, they won’t make those drugs. We either believe in markets or we don’t.

Rick Santorum defends drug companies in health care speech. (via CNN)

Just so we’re clear, still in the GOP primary, we’ve got the guy who doesn’t care about the very poor, the guy who wants poor students to clean the toilets at their own schools, the gay-bashing defender of healthcare monopolies who’ll let your poor kid die for his belief in markets, and…Ron Paul.

i NEED to punch someone in the face right now. and just so we’re clear, its the rich and privileged who have the luxury of paying $900 for an iPad, and many of them can likely afford health care and medication. but those who are barely making ends meet for rent each month? who struggle to feed their kids? they can’t buy $900 pills for their mental illness, so they end up living on the streets when their mental illness is not managed appropriately. nay, sir. nay.
