So far, all the investigations failed to find uninsured people who got hit with this charge. They have found people lamenting that if such people had no insurance, then it would have been very expensive for them



Of curse you can't find people who directly paid such an outrageous cost, we're talking about people who by definition can't afford medical insurance. What on earth makes you think any of them can afford $750 a pill? That's the whole point of this issue, it's not that people get gouged which is bad enough, it prices people out of getting the vital treatment they need even though the true economic cost of the treatment is trivial.
