It is despicable that the Covid vaccine manufacturers are going to charge more than $110/dose for the new XBB.1.5 boosters when available in mid-September.

The US government previously paid ~$25/dose, supplied free of charge, and subsidized these companies with untold $ billions.

@ShadSterling @erictopol Yep. And this is why M4A is ultimately unworkable. Until we address greed and waste on the provider side, all we'd be doing is funneling tax money to health care corps.
