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.
quixote@luckytran It all goes back to the madness of giving anyone with a monopoly free rein to set any price they want.
And not any old monopoly. A life-and-death monopoly.
Bang. $25 transmogrifies into tens of thousands.
Profiteering was illegal once upon a time. Maybe we could make it so again.
Compulsory licensing for any companies whose pricing is foreseeably likely to lead to damage or death. _Some_thing! Enough of these bloodsuckers.
