I know it's not something he has any say in and I appreciate him being honest, but drug companies are screwing us THAT MUCH?!

Makes you wonder how many millions of people could get the help and medication they need if drug companies were just ok with even making a reasonable profit instead of an insane one.

JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
