I don’t know if anybody understands anything anymore. Or maybe it’s me who doesn’t understand.

Revlimid’s nearly $1,000/pill price tag has put the cancer drug’s lifesaving potential out of reach for some patients, who have been forced into debt or simply stopped taking it.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked…
