En Chile el sistema de farmacias está gobernado por tres grandes empresas. Hace menos de un mes, estas empresas decidieron subir sus precios hasta en un 3.000%, haciendo que muchos medicamentos se hicieran imposibles de comprar. Los laboratorios no subieron los precios. Sólo las farmacias. La gente, molesta, ha protestado en las calles.
Multaron a las farmacias con US$1.000.000, pero eso no ha hecho que bajen los precios. Es más, para las ganacias de las farmacias, un millón de dólares es una multa simbólica.
Una vez más, los empresarios haciendo daño.

The pharmacies were sued for US$1.000.000 by the gobernement, but that doesn't force them to lower the prices, and for the pharmacies, one million dollars is just a simbolic amount of money: they make much more in a few days.
Once again, big enterprises hurting the people.
