Good!
Fuck the pharma industry. They’re everything that’s wrong with capitalism and then some.
Don’t people like need medicine tho?
They do. But that’s not a reason so take advantage of people in need - which is the pharma industry’s business model where healthcare costs aren’t regulated like in the US.
The pharma industry is in this very unhealthy position of making a profit from people who desperately need their wares. Exactly like plumbers on a weekend: the pharma industry can - and will, left to their own device - charge you any insane amount they want for your treatment that keeps you alive, like a plumber will charge you any insane amount to fix that leak before the whole living room is flooded.
That’s why it desperately needs to be regulated. If a Big Pharma exec thinks it’s tough to turn a profit in a country, that country is doing its job correctly.
Yeah that’s quite a fair point, I agree 👍
For a lot of the world, certainly in Britain, supplying medicine to people who need it is a very different concept to pharmaceutical companies doing good business.
Mhmh yeah fair
Big pharma crying because they can’t rip off British customers/patients as they do in the USA. They see the NHS as having too much purchasing power.
Pretty much the single biggest customer they have. I was getting podcast ads a few weeks back about some fund or other pharma companies had started to help British patients because the NHS wouldn’t buy their drugs. It sounded pretty desperate.
