💡REVOLUTIONARY—I cannot stress how epic @costplusdrugs is—there are now >100 generic 💊 sold for often ~90% off list price (sometimes 140x lower) because @mcuban’s company has cut out profiteering big pharma + pharmacy middlemen. Generics sold at cost +15%. HUGE!

2) Example— @costplusdrugs’s imatinib is offered for $200 a year. Which is what it currently costs in India 🇮🇳. However big Pharma charges $120,000 a year, and even with Good Rx coupons is still ~ $2000 a year minimum. @mcuban has cut that down again to just holy effing $200!
3) that said, it seems @costplusdrugs can only do that for standard chemical based drugs— which you can easily make exact copies via standard chemistry. And he is just buying and selling authorized generics already approved for sale in USA. But not all drugs available this way.
4) saved this person’s dad drug 💊 bills from over $400 to just $33 a month!!!

5) but we really need to work on insulin most of all… it’s literally highway robbery prices and corporate profit causing suffering and deaths with insulin prices right now 👇

6) 100 years later… life critical insulin should not be costing $1000 and bankrupting families to the brink. It’s affordable elsewhere in the world… except for profit corporate dominated USA.
