Patent law, Biosimilar production restrictions, Pay for Delay, and Price Fixing all contribute and the government interferes far more than it enables. In the Shkreli case, why didn't another company begin manufacturing the drug and undercut him? Because Uncle Sam forbade it. And price "gouging" should never be illegal though I agree that monopolization should.

If it were truly a free market a company would be making a drug that their competitor is selling for $13.30 and sell it for $9.99

Then the price war would begin.. all the better for the consumer.

We have a free market to invent something then set the price on that product.  However, the inventing company usually obtains a patent which prevents competition for a certain period of time.  

pat·ent


noun

/ˈpatnt/
  1. 1.
    a government authority or license conferring a right or title for a set period, especially the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention.
