So yeah, what was a far fetched idea then becoming a reality is pretty heart warming. #Insulin4all #costvr
Great news on insulin. @CivicaRx will manufacture affordable insulin: no more than $30 per vial or $55 for a box of 5 pen cartridges.
@MayoClinic is a founding member of this non profit generic drug company.

After reviewing proposals by Presidential candidates on prescription drug prices, my list ordered on what I think would be most π¦π§π§π¦π€π΅πͺπ·π¦. Let me know if you would prioritize differently! @ASlavitt @peterbachmd @choo_ek @DusetzinaS @sean_r_dickson @ihdezdelso #costVR
Besides @ewarren and @PeteButtigieg are their any other Presidential candidates still running who explicitly support Compulsory Licensing as a way to lower prescription drug prices? @pritikrishtel @peterbachmd @ellenthoen #CostVR
80% of prescriptions are for generics; average cost of generics is only $1 per day. Thatβs not the problem.
Specialty drugs are only 0.5% of prescriptions but account for 25% of expenditures. #CostVR @leighdrugwonk @policydeb @ASlavitt @choo_ek https://t.co/p0EpkEm3U4
