New Bill to promote competition in drug prices

[John Galt]

Not sure why you’re happy about being wrong.

You've quickly established yourself as the most ignorant and worst poster on this board. And the football board, which is quite an accomplishment. Have a great day and I'm sure your friends and family are looking forward to hearing your insight on pharmaceutical development and pricing... just remember - don't do the research, just explain it to them based on your reasoning...

As you can tell, I’m EXTREMELY concerned with gaining the approval of OTB posters and blowing them away with my top notch research!!! Next stop, Pulitzer!!

[KillerGopherFan]

You do??? LOL

I would wager that almost any other regular poster knows more than you do about this subject. It has been argued before. I worked in pharmaceuticals for about 12 years. People have different opinions, but you’re just making a fool of yourself with a little help from Galt.

Well, I won’t be swayed by just you all’s word on it, that’s for sure. Links from reputable sources (ie, not the alt-right) help. But I’m not going to spend any effort researching, so I don’t expect anyone here to either!

Also note that JG never actually said a single thing on drug pricing. It’s the dirt buried under the rug.

Is that be because you are spending all your effort fu&king off? Hope so!

[Gophers_4life]

I’m a troll.

I've worked in pharma and med device for over 20 years. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Humira is a complex biologic for rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's and other complex diseases. It's the highest selling drug on the market at well over $15 billion per year.

Enbrel....

Not going to take any time or effort to see for myself if you’re telling the truth here. Doesn’t matter because there are obviously a handful of modern examples where big pharma did bring a drug to market that reasonably “helps” a significant number of people and with reasonably “few” side effects.

You could’ve well just cited Viagra.


Nevertheless, the more important point overall, and the specific focus of this thread, is the unfair pricing of drugs. You quoted revenue of a drug but not its price, which is telling.

Big pharma, in cahoots with big health insurance, are shielding people from the true price of drugs, unless you’re unlucky enough for the drug not to be covered or you get dropped, and bilking the economy for profit. Anything putting an end to that, is a good thing!

Help us out. You can pick any one of the following drugs and let us know what the appropriate pricing would be: Abraxane, Symdeko, or Lipitor.

Moderna has raised something like $2.5B and they’re only in phase 2 trials. In a few years or longer if one if the drugs makes it to market I’d guess that none of their investors are looking for a return of their investment.

You forgot to include Advil...

Big pharma is in constant search for labs that come up with novel compounds to license or buy the rights to in total. NIH funded labs are a great source of new compound discovery.

If you don't mind me asking, what part of pharmaceuticals did you work in?

Again: "negotiation" only works if either side is ABLE and WILLING to walk away. So by all means, negotiate. We'd like your $500 drug to be $400. No. Next step? Either Medicare recipients don't get the drug, or?
