Drug companies bend us over routinely and repeatedly.
Case in point? Harvoni. US price? $120,000.
India price? $900.

Not even close
This was an investor memo, not a chastisement to the drug company
Harvoni wasn't strangled by private equity, it was phased out for better hepatitis C meds.
Harvoni is a WHO essential medicine
And if "they want you sick," don't you think "they" would have crushed vaccines by now?

Glad my mom was in the trials of Harvoni and has been Hep C free for multiple years. She had it for 30 years. She had to be so so careful with cuts, nosebleeds, sharing things with even me, and had to watch for signs of liver failure. Now she can actually LIVE. Like we should all have the right to.

A bit misleading, as much of the drop in Harvoni sales was due to competitors entering the market.
American health care creates no incentive for pharma companies to cure diseases. When you cure a disease, the customers go away. There's no money in that.
Curing patients is not a sustainable business model, per Goldman Sachs.

I had Hep C for 40 years. My insurance denied my 12 week harvoni ($90,000 US). I got the same meds direct from India for $1000. Healthcare in America is broken.

I support medicare for all, but going to see what it covers today is different from future decisions. Examples: GLPs (not covered at first), Sovaldi/Harvoni (84k hep c - was covered but required lots of prior auth and cost share and still increased Medicare Par D spend by 15%).
