this seven seventy-nine taxes brought to you buying that rights go to that place dot com
slash the right to you for your three found them
about a month ago we did a story on eight drug that would cut premature albert's like
thirty three percent
so it's a really important drug because of course premature births uh... lead to health
issues and uh... you know birth defects
so it turned out that uh... compound in pharmacies were creating this injection
that would decrease the pro premature birth rates
uh... and then after the f_d_a_'s approve this drug
it turned out that katie pharmaceuticals started selling the drug for fifteen hundred dollars
herd ducks now the pharmacies before the f_d_a_ approved it were selling it
for ten dollars per doubts
well it turns out that senator i shared brown from ohio uh... found out about this he was
outraged by it and he basically
started pressuring katie pharmaceuticals to change its price
well it turns out that the pharmaceutical company has now reduced its price by fifty
five percent
from fifteen hundred dollars
to six hundred ninety dollars per desk
and they're hoping that everyone of hannibal layoff of and stop criticizing them
and you know let them get away with charging people significantly more
then that what the pharmacy with the pharmacies were charging before by the way they're also
offering a twenty three percent discounts uh... for those who have medicaid
so okies
so couple things you have to have about fifteen shots
so it's not just one six seven ninety dollar bill it did
total bill still comes out to
about ten thousand dollar strictly
which is a tremendous amana money of course especially you see if just for ten bucks
now
to be fair to the company's
go through a lot of
expense to get
struck
and so
you know they have to make up that money
under clinton
it's ideas of the pricing is totally random delight
the charging as budget
hostage and
and it it it it had a blow back rather like all right let's cough
eight hundred through the press exploration
maybe a tremendous about of money date
so it was not all
injury
fortress shot
the fact that what it really does so
play on it
if you thought that was all of that
you know they've also gotten government funding to help with the
getting this trip
right at the earliest twenty one million dollars
writing back with the government help our tax dollars
help fund the research too
basically test this tried to make sure that it's okay
uh... you know to get out to people
but you know you're writing anybody
pharmacies were making this drug and it only cost them ten dollars per doubts
i mean this markup is rediculous and the reason i bring a story about that now is not only
to update you guys on what happened
but also to show you that
if you are to bring attention to stories like this if you really focus on uh... pressuring
his pharmaceutical companies to change their prices and change the things that they're
doing
it could happen like i love that senator brown
uh... really took this case on and you know pressure this pharmaceutical companies change
the prize
he says that he's still not happy it's over
significantly high but you know if you pressure them and if you bring attention to these stories
changes can be made and i like that it gives me a little ray of hope
would not put they deliver the move into your house
no later just free shipping at one thousand two movies or tv shows straight on your pc
well on your television and thoughtful at present time fighting like the result of the
ship did not put salt
