      You joke but providing incredibly shitty overpriced healthcare that provides a higher return on investment is an American specialty. People who are incarcerated get dosed with all kinds of wonderful stuff like antipsychotics (should be banned IMHO) if they act up too much.

      Same reason why nobody who wants cheap bit unprofitable drugs, or expensive profitable drugs with even more expensive alternative treatments can get any

    Maybe we should have the government run the prisons and provide the healthcare there.
