Disgusting People (Updated)

You can figure that Rick Santorum (google it!) will show up here regularly. Here he is on drug costs:

It gets worse:

"Look, I want your son and everybody to have the opportunity to stay alive on much-needed drugs," Santorum insisted. "But the bottom line is, we have to give companies the incentive to make those drugs. And if they don't have the incentive to make those drugs, your son won't be alive and lots of other people in this country won't be alive."

"He’s alive today because drug companies provide care," the candidate continued. "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."

"Drug companies provide care?" Really? Since when?

Keep in mind that we pay at least three times more for prescription drugs here in the good ol' US of A than citizens of any other country in the world.

The man just doesn't know when to shut up.
