In India, Sovaldi costs around $900 for a 12-week treatment course, significantly cheaper than the price in the United States where it can cost upwards of $84,000 for the same treatment period..
It's because of the commercials…The US is the only country (& New Zealand) that allows prescription drug commercials. We're paying for the advertisement
Please not forget that the previous administration Biden/Harris brought down the price of insulin and what did orange buffoon do he canceled that and the price went back up. that was helping the American people and seniors
Don't know how these pharma people, including investors, can live with themselves. "Oh, you have a disease that will kill you? Well I have the cure...for a price. Do you want to live or not? Pay up or go away and die." That's pharma, hiding behind a corporate veil, in denial of their body count.
Trump & his Minions are Fully invested in Pharma!! They could give 2 Shits what’s good for the people that put them in office!! Talk about being stuck on Stupid!! You Go MAGA
I am prescribed wegovy (semaglutide - same as ozempic). In the US it costs $1600 per month without insurance. I work 6 months out of the year in Europe. I get ozempic there for about $100 for a month’s supply - total out of pocket cost without insurance! Big pharma screws the US! That’s WRONG!
This is obscene. The American people are held hostage by their politicians. Why they keep voting these criminals into office is beyond my comprehension.
Not only the price. But the access to the medicine. In India you can walk into any pharmacy and they will give you the medicine. In America, you have to get an appointment with your primary care doctor first, and he has to give you permission to get the medicine from the pharmacy.
I was diagnosed with Hep C and it was cured in 60 days using this pill. Obtaining it from a specialty pharmacy and with insurance the first 30 day supply of 30 pills cost me $10 out of pocket. The second 30 day supply of 30 pills cost me nothing out of pocket
Did you know that the best place for US citizens to receive very advanced and highly qualified medical treatment and health care, is Cuba. Surprising, isn't it?
Don’t just take it, don’t be complicit, do something and say something! You are being ripped off by Trump! You’d be shocked with what the rest of the World pays eg Australia Insulin per script $31 if you have a pensioner concession card $7.61 !
History has shown and rightfully so that the attitude by the wealthy of "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" or "Let Them Eat Cake" does not turn out so well for the wealthy.
I did some intercity travel by bus in India,not luxurious but interesting. I was with Indian colleagues so no idea how easy it is to arrange without a local to help.
Insulin in most developed nations is around $20 to $40 a month. Before Biden capped it at $35, it was running over $400. Now that Trump removed that and all other caps, it's back to $400.
But do tell me how eggs, which have doubled in the last month, are too expensive.
There is no striving to cure diseases in the US because pharmaceutical companies want to make money on diseases. They exploit sick people for profits. And Trump is helping them do that. Let that sink in.
So... once diagnosed, can they be purchased online? Because that would be the logical move! Wait... let me guess, they've probably passed laws that prevent people from helping themselves instead of relying on big Pharma....😡🤬
They sell it in India for that price because they know that's all they can get. They made the call that it was still worth it because they make a nice profit. Tells you how badly we get screwed.

Eliquis is a blood thinner that can cost Medicare patients up to $540 a month. Biden had negotiated it down to $200 a month. Trump killed the deal because he is a shit.
AND … in Oz, it’s a 6 week course for $80 bucks!
You Americans are the most gullible suckers on the planet.
Why on earth do you put up with this shit?!
😳🤪😂👎
That’s why only politicians would take away limits on prescription drugs and not want pre-existing conditions covered. What person would NOT want these?
My spouse had hep C and tried everything. When harvoni came around, his dr prescribed for 180 days and insurance declined. We had to fight like hell to get it approved. The insurance paid $180,000 to the pharmacy to cure him, but it did cure him. We had mostly hood private insurance
Billionaire have ruin our country with the help of the GOP.
GOP passed laws benefiting their overlords.
While impaling the rest of us to debt.

And it’s needed for 3-6 months along with several other expensive drugs. Cost for my ex husband 6 months of treatment was $245,655, some was covered by Medicare but not all.
So, it’s cheaper to fly to India and buy the meds, pay for a place to stay while you complete treatment, and fly back than to take the pills here.
Why do we put up with this again?

its just plain larceny.
It's a vicious cycle... in which the American people are forced to pay the price.
Praise!

Well done America. Well done indeed!
One was covered by the VA for a trial basis, the other had to pay out of pocket.
If you can't pay, you die....
