FDA approves generic form of $750 pill Daraprim

Daraprim came to public attention in 2015, after the pharmaceutical company Turing Pharmaceuticals increased the price of the decades-old drug from $13.50 to $750 per pill -- a hike of more than 5,000%.

The illness is considered to be the leading cause of death attributed to foodborne illness in the US, the FDA said.Read More"Empowering patients and promoting choice and competition are top priorities for the FDA. These important efforts include improving access to safe, effective and high-quality generic medications," FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn said in a statement Friday.

This is why insurance is sky high- price gouging. So what does the govt want do? Mandate health insurance, or socialize healthcare. It only insures that the pharmaceutical and hospitals can charge whatever the hell, and get paid. Who's looking out for who

And this is why they do not want Bernie Sanders to be President. He would stop this shit.

Turing Pharmaceuticals is committing Armed Robbery! Vote Blue to stop these pharmaceutical companies from getting extreme wealth off of Americans!

Yeah. Now do Epipens.

feature not a bug

And conservatives still dont see the problem $750!!! for a small pill yea free health care for all is absurd but paying that amount of money for a pill is okay

Great job Liberals. Turns out when you force a population to buy something, the seller can charge whatever they want. Some of us were aware of this fact before Obamacare, and rightfully opposed it.
