After Senator Chris Murphy told this pharma CEO about a constituent who needs to pay $350 a month for a life-saving drug and go without food, the CEO replied: "We have priced Eliquis ... consistent with the value it brings."

Chemists that paid for school with taxpayer grants, loans, and scholarships. Research grants to develop the drug. Followed by patent monopoly. And he thought his response was appropriate? These are taxdollar vampires that need to be outed as such.

Eliquis: US avg price: $556.15 Canadian price w/ shipping: $140.89 International pricess w/ shipping: $74.75 "Screw Americans in every possible way" is the American dream of large corporations and pharmaceutical companies.

These are your real drug dealers that needs to be regulated.

The value it brings . . . To the bottom line

Nothing will come of this. Howard Schultz, billionaire union buster and corporate welfare queen, did the same in front of Congress and NOTHING HAPPENED. This is a sham, to make it look like the wealthy politrix do something while they shake hands behind closed doors. Class war

Actually he’s being quite honest here if you consider it: He says they price the drug consistent with the value it brings. Since the value it brings is is her life, and they price it at ~$350/month… To him that’s the about how much he thinks her life is worth, $350/mo

trying to shame people without a conscience is a waste of time

As someone who had to take Eliquis for a few years and was terrified about not being able to pay for it and dying. Fuck this guy.

We need to re-orient this country around community values bc this is not it The same impulse that tells us taking a shxt in public isn't appropriate, people should be made to feel that about screwing citizens over

I hope the constituent consented to it, or is at taken care of. These banker ppl don't value human lives.
