We owe a debt to Martin Shkreli for solidifying our hatred of both hedge fund managers and drug complany CEOls Jonas Salk must be turning over in his grave seeing how medicine transformed from a place where it saved lives to one where it helps people live long enough to go into debt and sell their houses to get treated. A guy like Wendell Potter can write books and be a whistleblower, but it takes a greedy nut job to get our attention. Don Mersel

"the U.N. Human Rights Committee (HRC) condemned what Republicans claim is a “very exceptional” country for its hateful practice of criminalizing homelessness. The HRC labeled America’s treatment of its homeless, millions whom are veterans, “cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment,” as well as “a violation of America’s obligation to adhere to international human rights treaties.” Along with the condemnation, the HRC-conducted review drove the international organization to demand that America comply with a treaty on human rights that it ratified 1992, and to take corrective action to be in compliance.
This week, the Obama White House took a giant step toward corrective action to force communities to halt the “cruel, inhumane, and degrading” treatment of people who do not have shelter. Last month the Obama Administration argued that these vile local ordinances that criminalize American citizens for being too poor to afford shelter was unconstitutional. The Administration filed a brief in federal court arguing that criminalization violates the Eighth Amendment’s protections against cruel and unusual punishment"
