You wouldn't pirate a medicine, would you?

It's not even funding the expensive treatments, it's not charging a 1000x markup hurting their bottom line. It'd be one thing if it were genuinely expensive medicine (i would still propose a distribution method other than "capitalism") but it's not.

If these meds were available for a reasonable price i don't think we'd be seeing groups like this.
