I always interpret the rule [0] "Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." as applying to stories like this one.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Presumably this drug (like all the others) is dirt-cheap to synthesize and the only reason anything is expensive is a government granted monopoly that’s nominally encouraging innovation
I don't grant the assumption that innovation is helped with the current US system. It is entirely possible that it is actually hurt considerably compared to other systems. There is a massive incentive to prolong health problems if you make money on treating them. Even without people being evil, when the major learning signal (money) points constantly towards 'prolong the problem' it isn't hard to imagine that the sys…

These billionaire mice are funding this research; humans should do the same
“These creatures you call mice you see are not quite as they appear, they are merely the protrusions into our dimension of vast, hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings.”

Real-world reports can be valuable to some readers who are non-plussed by journalistic interpretations.I don't see deception going on in this one; it's clear about its limits.
