Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban says the problem with America’s prescription drug system is not just that prices are high. It is that the system is built so some of the most powerful middlemen benefit when prices stay that way.
In Senate testimony last fall, Cuban used a comparison familiar to millions of Americans: Amazon (AMZN). His Shark Tank companies, he said, often hate selling on Amazon, but they do it anyway because that is where the customers are – making it a necessity for any business.
