You have to pay for all that inorder to reap the benefits of all that. If you don’t pay for that you get none of it. Simple as that. Durgs take money to make. No money means no drugs. This things don’t grow on trees. The genetic stuff is especially expensive to make because it takes very complex machines to make. I have sympathy for genetic diseases. No one asked for it. Certinaly not the baby. But if you want the drugs for your cholesterol, high blood pressure, liver disease, and kidney problems let me suggest to you that you put down that big mac, return that 6-pack to the 7-11, and stop wining and dining out. Especially stop wining.
Big pharma RIP off…it should be outlawed!! It’s ironic how the father said he would do whatever possible for his son… Well…he didnt have to pay the 2.1 million..it was charity!! I am sure he wouldn’t say the same thing if the money was coming out of his pocket. Go figure!
The problem is the company may spend hundreds of millions to bring a new drug to market that is only rarely going to be used, and it has to recoup that money plus make a reasonable profit before there patent runs out and it is cloned.
The real problem with drug price is the artificial separation created by programs like Medicaire Part D and market forces. All it takes, is bribe the right politician and you product would be covered by the government! In the case of pharmaceuticals, the politicians were the Republicans and the Bush Administration. It is not just limited to Democratic politicians. If you limit the import of cars, then American cars would cost over a million too!
Yea but he wouldent be saying that when you have nothen left after selling everything and leaving on the streets becouse we let then big wigs but a tax on everything including soon tax on air.

New Zealand has a tax payer funded public health care system with supplementary private sector. The budget for a liver transplant for example, is around 100 thousand dollars, not the 3 to 5 million it costs in the US.

Let’s hope New Zealand can hold on to its human decency.

No price on human life?….unless you’re a snake providing medication in America…..that price then is 2.1 million ……meanwhile after they win their bread and butter it’s only $500 in 3rd world countries. Am I wrong? Nope, I’m not.
