Nearly $100 per pill

Edit: nearly $50 per pill, thought a course was 15 pills instead of 30. Still outrageous.

Honestly this is a really good thing. Imagine how much money this will bring into the economy. You can choose to die from covid, or take out a predatory healthcare loan for this drug. Most people will choose to go into massive debt just to stay alive, and the economy could really use that cash injection right now to prevent a recession from happening. Just think of how much shareholder value locking a critically lifesaving drug behind such a high price tag will create. frothingfash
