I was a pharmacy tech in the USA for almost a year before i couldnt take it anymore. I worked in an area which had 50% of children in the local schools on free and reduced lunch, and the other half driving suburbans to and from their corporate job and $500,000 home. Elserly patients paying $600 for insulin when insurance lapsed. Impoverished patients on medicaid choosing which medications to get that month because they were only allowed a certain number. Parents coming from the ER asking which medications are "really" necessary because the ER visit itself was already expensive. heart breaking. soul crushing. didnt make it very long at that job.

They make themselves look good by blaming the people they kill. also when people cry out for help in various ways, they get abused for it and that makes these so-called medical professionals look good as well. so it's okay to abuse someone who wants help but when people tell doctors to take responsibility and actually try to help these people, the doctors get all offended. when the suicide rate goes up, it's never the doctors fault. this is why you'll never see me go to a doctor. I will also never be honest because honesty gets you into more trouble. If I don't ask for help, I am less likely to be abused. And if I get away with undoing my life, I won't be tortured for attempting to escape a system that won't actually help me if I do keep my life. I don't know how psychiatrists think that physical torture will make people want to live, but anyway... whenever anybody tells me that violence is never the answer, I tell them to try saying that to a doctor Who uses violence every single day to silence everybody.

A friend’s father caught hep c as a detective saving a life. He didn’t even think twice about this act. He was just doing his job. When his condition became grave many years down the line, he had to battle with insurance companies for assistance in covering the treatment. While he eventually did win, by the time he did it was far too late. He ultimately lost his fight. It is hard to not be disgusted about this.

[@dstew8540]

Meanwhile, he paid taxes like the rest of the working class to make sure all those on Medicaid got the hep C drugs for free. That's how the US's democracy really works and how badly BIG PHARMA controls the Fed and State Govt and all its agencies. Very disgusting state of affairs they've put the American middle class into the last 30-40 yrs while they ALL profited from these discriminatory practices.

The system put a strain on everyone and the system did not help the small businesses so the businesses needed their customers to pay extra for a bowl of noodles so the business owner may stay a little more afloat. If you thought making your own bowl of noodle is more economical, guess again, everything in the grocery stores have also jacked up their prices.

Big Pharma is one reason why American healthcare costs are totally out of control. Our insurance rates go up because of the high drug prices. My husband has high blood pressure and has had to change his medications 3 times in the past 5 years because the drug company changed their formulary just a tiny bit and then remarketed it as a new drug, meaning they could charge a fortune and that our insurance would no longer cover it. The VA is the worst offender. I'm pretty sure they have contracts with the major pharmaceutical companies because they ladle out the more expensive brand-name drugs like candy on Halloween. That's your taxes, people. I don't like the idea of government-run healthcare, not only because of the massive taxes on everything, but there's the long waits, and the government decides who gets what. But too many of the younger generation is used to getting things handed to them, and I imagine that's where we're headed. Nothing is free. Nothing.

I listened to another documentary earlier about this topic. Granted it was a much older one, but it mentioned something interesting. They questioned some pharmaceutical companies about why the prices were so high and their response was part of it was to cover their research costs. But the American doctor they were questioning, the former editor-in-chief, says they outsource their research, or rather, buy the rights to the drug from independent labs that are essentially government funded (grant money). You have to wonder if back in the 90s and early 2000s, if that's what these companies meant by "cover their research costs." To regain what they spent on acquiring the drug in the first place.

To me, the crazy part is that the research is publicly funded, but the profits are kept private. The companies say they deserve to charge such high prices, because they "take on the risk" of doing research which might not pan out. Except, much of the the research is not actually done by them, but rather universities. And the "risk" very often does pan out. Their argument is specious. The way to "regulate" this is to stop granting them such vast monopolies on these technologies. These legal monopolies are called patents. Patent law is not handed down to us on stone tablets. We can, indeed must, engineer them to maximize public value. Currently, they are mostly maximizing private value. By definition, patent law is buggy.

I'm process engineer in one of biopharma companies. Actually this video is showing slightly manipulated picture: 1. There is a difference between US and EU market due to different approach to health care. This is later connected with the drug market regulation and prices. In Europe it is more regulated. It cannot be simply generalised. That maybe explains in 23 minute "in Europe lucentis price was half as in US". So US people - don't forget to be mad also on your government and the free market, one of the things US is recognised for. 2.in 24 minute "Roche or Novartis don't like the product they sell is used for different purpose". The drugs are licenced for certain type of disease because only for this disease they presented the clinical data to the authorities ensuring the product is SAFE. They won't be able to take responsibility if what they sell is missused. I'm surprised that professionals in 24th minute and 25th minute of video are suprised that companies ask about it. 3. Lucentis and Avastin are slightly different and there were found risks when clinical trials were performed for Avasrin for AMD ( I googled why it is not filled for licence). Also aseptic fill of prefilled syringe is quite a burden of cost for manufacturers. But then you are ensured the drug injected into your eye is sterile. If doctors do it in improper conditions they can contaminate the shot... 4. Novartis treatment costs that much becuase quality of manufactured product cost a lot, because they need to invest to innovate the manufacturing to be able to provide product to more patients. Currently most likely it is around 40-50 patients a month...also to maintain highly skilled and knowledgeable personnel to manufacture the treatment is also quite expensive. 5 Also manufacturing place makes a difference, price will be different if it will be manufactured I.e. in India and US because also of employees salaries....it also depends which standards needs to be fulfilled for drug manufacturing (I.e. some countries have a bit more loose regulations). I can go on and on. I know how much does it cost to prepare for any authority audit (I.e.FDA). So from my perspective , having industry on-floor knowledge , this video is rather slightly biased.

Also new cancer medications are extremely expensive, perhaps , again $40,000. That is why some medications don’t get approved for for PBS provision.

[@vickymintz29]

@@kyndamachrous7466 yes because they cannot control the market on marijuana so it’s banned. Politicians are responsible for catering to the big pharma and allowing the industry to control the products put on the market.

3:15 what this guy describes here is exactly NOT what a free market is.. this is corporatism/crony capitalism. this is the only reason why he was able to raise the price to such a ridiculous level, and still have "buyers" for the product... until people change the rules in Washington DC on lobbying, etc., the economy will remain benefiting a very few, and punishing the people who need the most help

[@sebastianwallin3726]

Society usually tries to rid monopolies to avoid anyone from getting this supremacy over a market and especially if the market is life necessary for some.

This isn't capitalism. This is corporatism. Medical Patents enforced by government regulations & force. Nobody is allowed to compete with these companies - as enforced by the law. Capitalism would be a free market economy promoting COMPETITION among manufacturers. Competition = cheap prices. Government enforced "patents" is what allows corporatism to reign in. No competition is allowed in a market full of 'patents'.

Honestly if I was told I needed to spend 84k to live.. I'd rather die. They're telling me I'm gonna spend the life I just bought just to be broke. I'm good.

People should start to live healthy lifestyle. Eat organic, limit your food consumption, fast once or twice a week, exercise, stay away from social media.

[@entropicpedro]

Yeah same.

I can’t imagine the intense pressure doctors experience by this industry.

[@Jefe_De_Jefes]

They are getting a cut so I don’t see why they would be against it

Coming off my antidepressants after 3 years cause they don't work but they make withdrawal so bad so you're stuck on them forever. Well they aren't getting anymore money out of me.

I am an insider to the industry, yet a lot of things in this documentary is eye opening to me. What a brilliant & fearless attempt to uncover the lesser known realities of the life saving industry?

[@rdawg421]

This is not lesser known to anyone other than those burying their heads in the sand

[@BCSTS]

With all the horrible side effects....this life saving industry....kills as many or more than it helps!! There is no mercy, no compassion, no recognised responsibility, just cold blooded money grabbing! It is evil, plain & simple !

[@Laayon19]

You're pretty naive then

[@lulielawry]

life wasteing industry

[@BCSTS]

Sorry...I can never think of Big Pharma as a life saving industry ! ! On the contrary...they have happily, blatantly killed & ruined so very many people as they line their pockets.....it is sheer evil & condoned by governments !

If only Americans and people around the world understood that the food they eat is exactly the reason why they are sick. These companies would be a thing of the past.

[@suzanne5574]

Because otherwise no one would get sick and we would all turn 150 right? Like in the good old days?

[@record.retake.repeat7922]

WHO should take the initiative to regulate all pharma companies of the world in the name of humanitarian reasons. Shame that the pharma companies have become more like a capitalist rather than a toll for humanitarian advancement. Maybe governments should set up their own pharma companies to mitigate this.

I only saw doctors 3x in my life. 1) physical checkup prior to my arrival to America, 2) getting a tetanus shot in order to attend Arizona state university, and 3) when I had chickenpox, which is really the only time I needed a doctor. I was born at home, and without doctors and nurses. Where I came from there was only 1 nurse/doctor. Natually, I never saw dentists ... until after my arrival to America. They btw, drilled holes on my teeth. And I let them. Though years later, when they wanted to remove 2 of my teeth that I stopped seeing them. It's been 15 years since. I'm 49 years old with a full set of teeth. (Really long story)
