希拉里称,她将寻求把慢性病患者处方药的费用限制在每月250美元

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The major biotech stock indices fell Monday minutes after Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton tweeted that she'll release a plan to tackle escalating drug prices on Tuesday.
Clinton's tweet included a link to the New York Times story on Turing Pharma and its decision to raise the price of a 63-year-old infectious disease drug from $13.50 per pill to $750 per pill, which she called "price gouging" and "outrageous."
Healthcare investors have long feared U.S. government involvement in drug-pricing decisions. The ability to set prices with almost no limits has made the biotech and pharma industries among the most profitable in the U.S. economy.
It's also fed a sustained healthcare bull market that has made a lot of investors rich. A limit on drug prices could cripple industry growth and profits, which in turn, could kill the bull market in biotech and drug stocks.
