http://www.alternet.org/personal-health/84000-hep-c-drug-only-1500 It is capitalism. So the oligarchs and their servants in the White House are cashing in on ordinary Americans. Greedy corporations buy Congress, the president and the government to give them the necessary laws. After that, they start to plunder the people. If people are not satisfied, corporations always have corrupt judges and punitive police detachments. In fact, Americans as slaves. Banks, pharmaceutical companies and other corporations exploited Americans. The US government - kill ordinary Americans. He sends them to die in the war in other countries.... What do you think of it?
Well I may not agree with you on everything, but I'm really glad you posted this, because I knew the cure was around 90,000 dollars, and I knew there's no way I have that kind of money to spend, even to cure hepatitus C, which sadly I have, due to some foolish past decisions. Anyway, seeing that it can be much cheaper somewhere else is inspiring and uplifting, to say the least. Hell, maybe one day I can cure it, $500 (the lowest price listed), that much money at once I can hope to obtain relatively easy, unlike 90,000 dollars. Thanks again for posting this
have you read the quote of Benjamin Franklin about, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/247269-an-ounce-of-prevention-is-worth-a-pound-of-cure and do you know how much does it cost to develop a medicine. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/why-hepatitis-c-drugs-are-expensive_us_5642840be4b08cda34868c8a It is inherently expensive then if you could not afford, it's better not to get one, the government is there to guide you what to do, like should refrain from going to red light districts and exchanging fluid there illicitly, etc.
I'm sorry about your illness. In Russia, produces the drug against hepatitis C is called "Algeron". Cost depending on packing - from 6600 rubles (about 105 USD) to 25 500 rubles (398 US dollars) Check out this link (in Russian). Use a translator. http://algeron.ru/faq/otlichija-algerona-ot-drugih-lekarstv-protiv-gepatita http://www.rlsnet.ru/tn_index_id_56067.htm The main thing - do not despair. Orthodoxy teaches - despair is a sin.
This is nothing new. If you want any medical treatment you are better to buy a flight to Europe, stay in a nice hotel, pay for your treatment in a private hospital and fly back after your holiday. You will still have more money left in your account and had a holiday to boot. The problem is with the people, not the companies. Applies to all products, not just medical.
Hey, American CEOs can't get their multi-million dollar salaries, unless our drug prices remain sky-high. Only in America, do they make that kind of money off human suffering.
And attorneys, who also prey on peoples misfortunes. Check out the TV ads. One wonder drug after another, followed by the ads for attorneys who want to help you sue for the side effects from the very same drugs
But the most greedy, ruthless and arrogant - bankers. The bankers are the same everywhere - in Russia, in the USA, Europe or Madagascar. Everywhere. Bloodsuckers on the body of the common people.
