Last week was not a good one for people taking the drug Daraprim. Turing Pharmaceuticals, the new owner of the medication, announced plans to jack the price from $13.50 a tablet to a whopping $750.

The incident has raised a lot of questions about the price of drugs in this country and how those prices are set and Southern California Public Radio's health reporter

She joins the show every week for a consumer health segment that we call "Impatient." You can also check out this topic over at her blog.
