Also, the government immediately put price controls on the Hepatitis C cure even though it was already going to be offered at a cost that was way below the lifetime treatment cost of the previous standard of care. This was predictable, of course, but it's weird to blame the pharma companies.
- sidlls 7y agoI can easily afford $4000 per month on a mortgage for 30 years. I cannot afford a one-time cash payment of $1M to buy the same house, even though it's "way" less than the lifetime cost of the mortgage.
