Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year.
Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year.
Capitalism kills.
Penguin@luckytran @jensimmons Without capitalism there’d be no drug. Drug companies only have a certain number of years to monetize their huge research investment, that’s the system and we’re happy to get new drug therapies from it. I’m certainly alive in old age because of it. The drug will reach generic status soon enough.
drpatois@PenguinToot @luckytran @jensimmons Do you work for a pharmaceutical company? What about the amount of $$$ taxpayers spent to develop the initial research? Healthcare should not be for profit.
