- Gordonjcp 4y agoThat's *insane*. Here in Scotland each dose costs the NHS at most a couple of hundred quid, plus about that again to administer. None of that is paid by the patient.
- sirsinsalot 4y agoIt is crazy what the incentives do in the US. It is a bit like car insurance here, which keeps rising because insurance companies keep edging the cost of a claim upwards (courtesy cars at extortionate rates, repair, ...) because there's no insentive to keep costs down or not profiteer. With the NHS's buying power for drugs, they can get a little bit nearer a sensible margin from the supplier rather than the insane US costs underwritten by inflationary insurance.
