Comment on Public Enemy: quotes from the Martin Shkreli jury selection process

Comments

I think this is so important and less reflective of either Shkreli or the legal system, rather it shines a bright light on how many people are struggling to afford both adequate healthcare/drug coverage and simple can't afford their own prescriptions and as a result do not/can not take them.

It is a damn shame. It is also a damn shame people in this country have to be in court/under oath (potential jury members are during the selection process) to admit to these financial shortcomings, because such admissions of financial difficulty are social stigmas that almost anyone would try to avoid admitting (it's the same with millions who were in foreclosure during the Great Recession who would never admit it).
