This is true for other cancer drugs as sell. Essentially unaffordable to the average person. Serious reform is needed.

Democrats have a very long list of legislative goals when we regain the majority ... but this one is a "must do." Disgusting.

And yet oncologists want cancer patients to donate tissue and to experiment -without any compensation to the patient- none Weird how that works

Sounds like something our elected leaders should be addressing, doesn't it?!

🤬

I can answer that question without any research. Greed. The answer is corporate greed.

Corporate greed.

So true it cost us $1000 a month for the poison pills

Really monstrously cruel

Just to reiterate Thalidomide is almost guaranteed to kill or harm a fetus. In the USA patients must abstain or use 2 forms of contraception. Males taking this can affect females and a fetus through their sperm. DO NOT SELF MEDICATE.

Probably few. I just mentioned it as possibly less expensive than $18k a month, if they have it.

Not enough.

The oligarchy has a gun to the heads of everyone in this country. VCs are buying up everything in every industry, raising prices and decreasing quality. They are squeezing every last dollar of the bottom 90% to enrich themselves, yes. But they actually want to control and enslave or kill all of us.

That is sinful.

"Unbridled corporate greed," comes to mind…

Remember if you get jury picked for luigi's trial you dont know anything about jury nullification. Never heard of it

Perfect example why billionaires are never going be our friend. Freaked out over a 1% decline in revenues for 1 lousy quarter even though it still left them with 989 million in sales. It’s never ever enough for these people.

And we still refuse socialized medicine. Please tell us how much this drug costs in Europe, Canada, Australia!

Both parties take bribes from these people and in return allow them to continue their extortion; not exactly complicated.

🇨🇦 I’m horrified. Sorry I read it This cost for this Rx, for cancer, is so out of reach for most patients Just like the billionaires that forget about the consumers, the pharmaceutical companies forget the dying patients and just hope enough richer ones can afford their Rx

Because politicians are funded by these rich fucks, thats why. It’s not rocket science!

Absolutely revolting

But we know that Trump said he will make Pharma companies reduce their prices. Is there any reason to doubt him?

That goes WAY BEYOND blatant greed. 🤬

Americans have been fed this lie that healthcare is not a right but earned through employment and wealth. Healthcare for profit is killing us.

We need to pass laws to prosecute the CEO’s of these companies!

Where is our Congress and Senate on this! Let’s wake them up and send them a message in November!

It’s called extortion!

Either they charge patients an appropriate fee based off the cost to produce or nationalize the fucking company or take away their ability to sell in the USA. This is bullshit. We are talking about people’s lives!

Insurance company ripoffs

#EatTheRich

Our healthcare system is actively trying to kill us or at the very least, keep us sick so they can profit off endless treatments.

Insurance is what makes this possible. If they were charging patients directly for this drug, the company would have gone bankrupt a long time ago because nobody would be able to afford $18k for a month of drugs.

Think about the political force that blesses this. 🤔 Big pharma's dividends are money makers for Congress and The Supreme Court.

😡

I have to take a very expensive medication, too. Its $11k for 30 pills. Its a neuroscience drug for rare brain condition, but still it shouldnt be that much . making it almost impossible for poor people to get approved for it. Medicaid didnt wanna pay it, but dr made them due to evidence.

In the civilized world the primary goal of healthcare is healthcare. In America the primary goal of healthcare is profit. America is not a civilized country.

They want us sick and dead.☠️

Thanks trump and mike Johnson

What a scam!

A few years ago, my doctor and talked about cancer. I told him, "If I get it, I'm not going to treat it. I can't afford that, so I'll just ask for pain management." He nodded, understanding totally. That's what our choice is in America: choose to die or go bankrupt and lose everything.

Corporations/business rule in this country. Trump gave them power over us by cutting their taxes via his "pay for play" setup. Look how Taylor Farms got away with parasitic lettuce by giving Trump $1M. The citizens no longer any say in how things are run. He's already set up the midterms steal.

Tell me that's not profiteering? Come one tell me!

In UK, it costs £3,780 per pack of 21 capsules for the 10 mg strength. The NHS supply it free. USA does not enforce the need for generics competition, so everybody suffers.

This is CRAZY! I don't understand how this is legal. It is certainly deeply immoral...

Anyone involved in any part of the process of selling a 25c drug for $18000 should be in prison.

Cancer drugs are far more effective now. The original drug has been upgraded

Revlimid is made by Bristol Myers Squibb (former Celgene) in Boudry Switzerland, 3 km from my home

This is beyond immoral and unethical. It’s inhuman. We need to look deeply into how our society produces so many severely inhuman people. How do you do this to your peers and hold your head up every day? Sociopathy is our true GDP. Everything follows from that.

DISPICABLE

Greed, pure American greed.

So upside down 😡

Can we use a class action suit for withholding medication? Excessive price gouging?

And pharmabro was the bad guy Not saying he wasn't, he is, he was just mirroring how big pharma has been extorting the people all along.

People in the US are starting to go directly to the source, outside the US to fill their prescriptions.
