Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful.

  • Okay this angry message certainly isn't directed at you and kinda wandered off topic but i started typing and it turned into a bit of a vent..

    The problem is we've got bullshit ancillary companies wedged in the system wanting a cut. And even better, they get to overrule your doctor and deny you treatments if they think, from their fucking office chairs half way across the country, that what your doctor says you need is too expensive.

    They'll do anything they can to shaft both medical facilities and patients alike in order to maximize their profit while providing nothing of value. How much time are hospitals/clinics/private practices wasting on dealing with the back and forth between insurance companies?

    Between me and my employer we're easily giving 5 figures per year to these parasites. Make it a tax, pool it nationally to cover expensive procedures, cut out the worthless for-profit middlemen.

    But oh no, it's the only way, see in Canada you have to wait months to see a doctor while you bleed out on the sidewalk.. right? 🙄

    And yeah, we get rid of insurance companies and people working there lose their jobs. They've got the same struggles as the rest of us. That sucks, but it's not a valid reason to keep this system around.
