[@SuperMichelleDJ]

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.

There is always a bias, did we for instance hear how many people the drug companies despite their shady business methods actually save? Did the ousted companies get the option to tell their side of the story? Well after 30 min they asked 1 company to answer a couple questions, with the rest of the 42 min devoted to people thrashing them. Overall this is as one sided as any other documentary. Its just a side you happen to agree with(you and me both) so you don´t notice the obvious bias. This documentary was specifically made to expose certain methods and actions that the makers of the documentary(along with everyone else of course) obviously where against. It was not a "hey lets try to research this subject and see what we find" kind of documentary.

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.

You're saying India's governments prohibits pharmaceutical companies from patenting their products, therefore, allowing other companies to use their own formulation of the same drug, creating a fair market place, which contribute to lower prices for consumers?? That's a step in the right direction, I suppose.

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.

[@allyourcode]

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.

Yes but the taxpayer is still paying the full price to the drug company. Remember we have Medicare which approves and provides most medications at the minimum price. The government still pays the full price. That is why Hepatitis C medications are virtually free , but actually cost maybe $40,000 each year until cured. Also new cancer medications are extremely expensive, perhaps , again $40,000. That is why some medications don’t get approved for for PBS provision. People complain about not receiving the most up to date treatments immediately they are available. But someone has to pay and unless you are very wealthy, that someone is the taxpayer.

Off-label promotion refers to the sale of medications for uses outside of the approved indication. In these cases, medications are prescribed for a variety of symptoms that are not directly related to the purpose for which they were originally developed.
