Should we be upset that people can't afford to provide cures we don't want to pay for?
When I work, I get paid. I expect pharmaceutical companies feel the same way.
And if you look at how the world dealt with the hep c cure, it was pretty much trying as hard as possible to pay as little for a cure because the cost was front loaded.
- jnsie 6y agoWe should certainly be upset that a giant bank is effectively advising them not to create cures.
- JamesBarney 6y agoThe math is fairly simple. (Monthly drug price) * (number of months they take it) > (one time cost) Unless that one time cost is huge.
- nandhinianand 6y agoAh... the problem here is not that the pharma companies aren't getting paid.. The problem is there's a bunch of banks and government subsidies and a lot of middle-people creating cost on top of enabling the funds flow. I am not sure what's the solution, but there really are a lot of administrative middle-people involved..

- sanp 6y agoPeople hiring you have a choice (usual not life threatening). People who need medical attention do not.
- JamesBarney 6y agoAnd how many doctors and nurses would there be to help you if they didn't get paid?
