    So how much of this is because pharma companies have to cap prices of some drugs because of the Inflation Reduction Act, but they still want to keep the revenue looking good for shareholders?

      Probably none, because it implies prices wouldn’t have risen this year beyond inflation without the IRA.

        I think the point is, are they making up for Insulin price cap by hiking everything else up by insane amounts?

        I dont think theyre arguing greedflation wouldnt happen by pharma, just is it more than expected due to IRA?
