I have a friend that works at one of the big pharma’s - they have a new drug waiting for final FDA approval anytime now that will cost - wait for it - $2.6Million dollars - *for a single shot* (at least you only need one shot).

You think drug prices are bad now - just wait - this is going to become more common in the years ahead. The gravy train is just getting started.

Definitely should not cost this much for two small molecules in a fixed-dose combination.

Big Pharma has a great opportunity here to rebuilt some of its obliterated credibility.

But no, they gotta screw the terminally ill patients.

Smooth move, ex-lax.

I think its going to be a fairly short gravy train. When the med beds roll out all this stuff will not be necessary and will disappear.

getting FDA approval is one thing - getting insurance companies to pay for it is another

Sometimes it’s cheaper to go on an extended vacation to, say, Ecuador for treatment than pay US prices
