Is this a patented drug? If so Congress has the ability to step in and invalidate the patent. Not that they will do it. Those assholes couldn't give a fuck if infants have seizures and die. If not where's the competition? I thought this was a free market. Surely undercutting this price should be easy while still making money. It seems the patent should have expired by itself by now anyway.

There's no patent. But there's no regulatory pathway for developing a "generic" version of this drug. It's probably one of the most egregious examples of price gouging ever and there's little anyone can do about it
