Yeah, I mean, morally speaking I'm more upset that he did the drug thing than the financial thing... but it's not illegal to be a greedy prick. Meanwhile robbing other greedy pricks IS illegal, even if I have relatively little sympathy for wall street.
What if there was a law to charge companies (and/or the people in charge of them) for endangering significant human life? Would that be good? (Assuming the government could be trusted, and assuming laws were made to be fair)
Yes. And if ppl couldn't set prices, they might not spend all the $ to develope the pill in the first place. Life is tough, more rules don't fix everything.

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

There are laws against significantly endangering human life. Owning a pill distribution company and setting the prices don't apply.

Even if it was the only pill to treat a specific disease and raising to a certain point meant thousands of people would die?

Well, if the government could be trusted, I think more rules would be good; but it can't, so you're probably right.
