> I truly believe that if any company can be morally good, Gilead qualifies. The primary reason Gilead exists in my memory is the headline years back about their exorbitantly high prices for a life saving hepatitis C drug and the resulting questions this was raising in congress ($84K for a 12 week supply) [0]. While it may be admirable that they are providing these drugs freely to countries in need, I’d be more hesitant to accept at face value the claim that US prices in particular are somehow reasonable on that basis. I also question the framing that those high prices are necessarily high. I’m less familiar with how they’ve priced things in recent years. - [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7529435 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7529435
