You have NO IDEA of how expensive drugs can be
« on: December 19, 2024, 01:33:45 pm »
My friend takes experimental lung cancer treatment tablets. 
He reported that they cost his insurance company $87,000 per bottle.
So I looked up expensive drugs and learned how expensive drugs can be.

Millions of dollars per dose.

Elevidys $3.2 million per one-time dose

Skysona $3 million per one-time dose

Zenteglo $2.8 million per one-time dose

Zolgensma $2.1 million per one-time dose
