“I’m so grateful for #Gleevec. It keeps me alive. But the price tag ($10k/month) constantly hangs over my head.”
"When I'm on Enbrel, I don't have symptoms... But I also have to carry the fear knowing all this could be ripped away." Enbrel is priced at $6k per month.
First up: autoimmune drug Enbrel. Even though the primary patent on Enbrel expired in 2010, $AMGN has filed more than 50 additional patents on the drug to thwart cheaper competition, according to analysis by @IMAKglobal (1/) statnews.com/2020/09/29/dru…

Medicare spent hundreds of millions of $$$ more on Copaxone each year because of its inability to negotiate directly @46brooklyn @akesselheim
Even Teva’s own employees could not afford Copaxone at its price. One said she could no longer afford Copaxone because she would have to pay $1,673.33 out of pocket as compared to $12 for Mylan’s generic product.
After Mylan introduced a lower-priced generic version of Copaxone 40 mg/ml in October 2017, Teva implemented several new exclusionary tactics to limit generic competition and maintain profits.

First up: #Revlimid, a drug that costs $20k for a 28-day supply. The Committee reviewed more than 50k pages of internal communications & data from 2009 to now. Since Revlimid launched in '05, Celgene raised the price 22 times (1/) oversight.house.gov/sites/democrat…
After Bristol Myers Squibb obtained the rights to Revlimid last November, it raised the price again to $763/pill. The price has tripled in 15 years (2/)

Pres. Trump, touting his record on drug prices, pledges to issue $200 cards to all seniors. Reality check 👇
1) The legal authority to issue these cards is questionable, at best.
2) Pres. Trump's recently issued executive orders will do nothing to lower drug prices immediately.
