Did anyone else notice the last two paragraphs which basically said "oh by the way, competition is already here, so this is not a long term issue, and costs will rapidly decrease.". Which basically defeated the entire hand wringing nature of the article!
- refurb 12y agoI'll be honest with you, the price of these drugs is not going to come down with competition. Rarely do drug companies ever compete on price. Usually, the only time you do is if you have an inferior drug. If Medicaid/Medicare were smart, they'd put out a tender when the competition arrives. Go to both companies and say "We're will to buy enough drug to treat 1 million HCV patients, what can you do for us."
