Why is anyone so upset about drug companies ripping everybody off??? What did people think would happen when we were chained to Big Pharma by Hopey-Changey and his fraudulent ACA?

This mention, today, is the first I've heard of this incident.
On November 30, following almost two-and-a-half months of silence, the Israeli air force bombed Syria with three waves of cruise missiles. The first and second waves were repulsed over southern Syria, and the third, composed of surface-to-surface missiles, were also downed. At the same time, a loud explosion was heard in al-Kiswah, resulting in the blackout of Israeli positions in the area.
