Gilead Sciences Inc. is betting that some people will pay $1,000 a pill for its new medication against hepatitis C—$14,000 for a two-week course of the medication.
That’s the price the company has put on Sovaldi, a new drug that supposedly is better than current drugs in treating hepatitis.
Hepatitis C progressively destroys your liver, leading to your death if the disease continues. Sovaldi supposedly checks the disease in between 80 and 90% of patients.
Money hungry vultures? You bet!
And one more proof that in capitalist society the health care you get depends on how much money you have!
