You are not addressing my main point which is that these MCO's distort their "net margin" stat using accounting tricks. And yes PBM's are INCREDIBLY profitable. Express scripts made 4.5 billion in net income in 2017. The

This is not true and just an industry talking point from the PBMs. They use revenue tricks to hide their profit margin. See https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/payer/facing-criticism-pbms...

That is a nonsense talking point from the industry. They use passthrough revenue to distort their profit margin. Express scripts is closer to 15% and CVS is closer to 10%. See https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/payer/faci

Every drug company gives away their drugs for free to people who can't afford it in the US. It's sad that not enough people take advantage of patient assistance programs.

This is an incredibly stupid comment. Net price in Humalog has decreased since 2014 [0]. The PBMs jack up the list price so they can get their fat rebates. [0] = https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/25/eli-lilly-discl

The net price on Humalog has gone down since 2014. The PBMs are the ones who distort list prices.

Look at the SPAC boom. Letting retail in creates many problems. There are too many scam artists in the world.

"big pharma" saves hundreds of thousands of people's lives every year and then gets shit on by people who think they understand how the drug business works because some politician sent a mean tweet about a pharma company.

It's almost as if Barack Obama had been bought by big tech moguls who didn't like having to pay IP holders for their work but wanted to stop startups from encroaching on their monopolies. Oh wait...

That's why I asked for the # because they are suing a number of other companies over the same patent.
