What does everyone think about the whole Mark Cuban cost-plus drugs situation? Is this the way to devalue the monopoly of healthcare insurance companies and PBMs? I personally love the cost transparency, and I can see why patients would too.

I am a big fan of Mark Cuban. What he is doing is brilliant; medicine should not cost you that much after a certain number of years.

I think it’s great , bringing down the cost of healthcare is fundamental

I totally agree with it, I think it's time for this industry to be shaken up. It's crazy how far behind we are compared to other parts of the world!

I love it! I hate how Big Pharma companies take advantage of their monopoly and mark up prices on medicines people's LIVES depend on.

Someone explained to me that he’s doing the same thing as Walmart does for their $4 drug list and his site won’t get any specialty or expensive meds so essentially he just found a new way to find a way to monetize his business

Additional Posts in Pharmacists

I am leaving retail pharmacy after 15 years. I am opening a 403b pharmacy for a FQHC. I don't believe that retail pharmacy will be able to sustain itself with patient costs skyrocketing. I think people will become enraged or indifferent enough to allow the federal government to take over healthcare. How many times do we see people getting free prescriptions via government coverage that drive better cars than we do?
