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. (mastodon.world)

This is the nature of providers vs insurers in the negotiation war. And those without insurance are the losers of this war.

Or you live in a civilized nation with universal health care lol

That is a fact. 80 years of screaming "FREEDOOOOM!!!" was a goddamn baldfaced lie. Glad the world is seeing it finally.

"The world is seeing it"? Did you think the world didn't see it?

It's the US that needs to see it.

The world used to think the US was cool. Mainstream public opinion changed roughly around the bush (W) era.

It's not a matter of thinking like that. It's the truth of what happens. I didn't say I'm ok with the system.

Sorry, I think i was grumpy that morning and a little more attack oriented then my usually aggressive self.

I hear you and I sympathize.
