"Scott Pelley: Is there a bad guy in this equation? Employers who won't pay, #drugcompanies that are charging enormous fees for these #drugs?
Jonathan Gruber: The manufacturer is not the bad guy. The company's not the bad guy. Really, there's no bad guys here Scott. We just have to recognize as society that something's changed. We have a new miraculous and expensive mode of treatment, and we society need to recognize that we need to act jointly to absorb those costs."

Breakthrough genetic therapies can save lives, but many cost millions for single dose

A new class of life-saving drugs is helping children who once had no hope. But some carry a price tag of millions for a single dose, and the American healthcare system hasn't figured out how to pay.

ZDNet: This AI-designed drug for IBD was just given to human subjects for the first time. “While drugs are being developed using AI in a variety of ways, no drugs developed completely by AI, from start to finish, have so far made it over the finish line of regulatory approval. For that reason, every attempt by an AI drug to get approval is a landmark of sorts. Tuesday, drug development […]

#Trump will replace #Obamacare with... a concept of a plan. Never mind that Obamacare is literally a plan created by the #heritagefoundation then vilified as #socialism because only 3 republicans would work with him, turning it into the weird Frankenstein that at least ended denial of coverage for #pre-existingconditions but if not for the #filibuster, it would have been a #publicoption that had the power to #negotiate down the #prices because economies of scale make that possible. Instead it was a handout to the #drugcompanies , and the best worst plan we could have. Trump just says its bad and has no plan to replace it with anything other than creating a #medical wild west that will let patients die. Don't believe me? that was standard practice prior to Obamacare.

In other 'Merican health care adventures, I have learned that my prescriptions have fallen into what the insurance company calls "the donut hole," and I'll be responsible for 25% of my pharmacy co-pays in the future. Which dings me for over $1000 additional out-of-pocket between now and end-of-year. 'Merican "staying alive" payments and red-tape are AWESOME! Thanks, Republicans!

@arstechnica
I'm full-blown diabetic and my doctor just put me on Ozempic to bring down my recently rising A1C. Would be terrible if a tag team of greedy drug companies, Tiktokers, trendy stars, and fashionistas ruined this for people who actually need it. Not to mention maybe toppling the entire health-care system, bad as it is in the U.S.
