I mean, they should be able to charge anything they want. And if your grandchild is allergic to bee stings, $1000 for a $15 shot is okay? Gouging is gouging and is generally considered immoral and illegal (in many cases - the shot producers had to pay a $600 Million fine)
Price gauging to me is a very short run thing.

Cost of pills and the shot for bee strings is part of our govt screwing up the medical system and allowing things like this to happen. No reason medicare cannot negotiate pricing of drugs.
