Greed is a very nasty thing that makes everyone else suffer so a few fat cats can line their already full pockets. These people don't care whether its a roof over your head or life-saving medication.

There's no denying things are expensive these days, but some products take it to a whole new level. No way these things should cost this much! Here are 20 things we're definitely being criminally overcharged for.

Inhalers. I have a bad high deductible plan and pay $220 a month for something I need to breathe.

Human pharmaceuticals. My dog needed a chelation medication that my vet specifically said was on the pricy side but recommended a pharmacy that she worked with. I called with prescription in hand, and they quoted $3,000+ for a month’s supply. Then the rep stated they accidentally read the cost for humans. Dog cost was actually $60. Same dosage, same pill count, but adding chicken flavor and putting a little dog on the label dropped the price 98%.

6
Feminine sanitary products. Or just products targeted towards women in general. Especially in the US, I never realised how much women were paying for pads until I visited family there. Might as well use dollar bills as pads at this stage.
