Justice versus Mercy

There's no comparison. Someone who came up with a cure for cancer would in all justice have the right to charge a million dollars a dose. Mercy would dictate that he give the cure away for free. Common sense would dictate a path between the two. Many drug companies are doing that now. If you have the insurance or money out of pocket to pay for their high priced drugs, pay you do. If you live below the poverty line and have no insurance, your doctor can intercede for you, and you get the drug at low cost or even free. I call that the solution to the problem.
