"Merck... calling plan to negotiate Medicare drug prices extortion"

Extortion? Let's see, would that be anything like holding an exclusive patent on a drug someone will die if they do not get, then setting a price for that drug they have to pay no matter what? Even if that means selling their home, going into debt, or begging strangers for money? Something like that?
