Ariad feels the BERN

[BoyNextDoor]

Our Revolution is just heating up as Bernie continues to make regulating drug pricing part of the public policy conversation


Bernie Sanders requests info from Ariad Pharmaceuticals on its leukemia drug
The company drew anger after it raised the price of Iclusig for the fourth time in 2016 to a list price of nearly $199,000 a year. In the letter addressed to Ariad CEO Paris Panayiotopoulos, the two lawmakers said Ariad's "outrageous sales tactics" show that the company is "more concerned with its profit than with its patients."

Ariad May Not Be the Last to Feel the Bern
What's scary for other drugmakers is that this is more evidence they're still being watched, even as a contentious election season winds down. It also means the universe of pricing behavior under scrutiny is expanding.

On the other side of the coin, take the huge profit potential out of new drug research and the likelihood of new drugs being developed goes down the toilet.

Socialists.

Oy.

"more concerned with its profit than with its patients."

That's because it's a business, not a fuckin' charity.

And who the fuck is the government to regulate drug pricing?

Since when was this Soviet Russia?

Run the cost up on them to the moon with regulatory bullshit then cut the profit motive off from them by telling them they can only charge what the warm and fuzzy price is?

LOL excellent way to destroy our biochem/tech pharmaceutical industry.

George Bush guaranteed a unlimited deep-pocket buyer for drugs with medic care prescription drugs.. Obama through Obamacare continued that Trend. Hillary will be no different.

Drug companies have been careful to line the pockets of people on both sides of the aisle they will be just fine.

Crazy Uncle Bernie having a quote conversation unquote that is meaningless.

GBers are feeling the BERN too, HAHAHAHAHAAHH

Yes, kill as many industries as possible....that's good!!!




I'll never understand the American who not only wants to not make money but wants the government to prevent others from making money too.

Why don't you just move to some communist shit hole?

Reminds me of people who want anti-pricegouging laws during "emergencies."



They want the first one there to buy out the inventory and then black market it.

That's why as a good little capitalist I have little fear of the socialist bullshit that just keeps stacking up.

Ban it all....make mother fuckers get permits for every meal at a billion dollar tax each overseen by 37 agencies.

Make it legal commerce at large illegal in the name of social justice.

Let us say disaster strikes your region. Anti-gouging laws sat that you cannot raise the price of bottled water. So the first person(s) whom hit your store buy every unit that they can afford. Everyone else who comes next is shit out of luck.

Instead, if you are allowed to raise the price commensurate with the laws of supply and demand, the first persons will but what they can afford and then there will be units left for those whom come after them.

Scarce resources are allocated with maximum efficiency.

I understand that, which is why I'll be the goon in the parking lot with a crew of AK wielding Airborne Gangstaz and a 53' trailer stacked with pallets of bottled water.

20 bucks a bottle.

Just make sure they don't point the cannon at you bro!

It ain't me! It ain't me! I ain't no fortunate one no!

That's why I have gold, silver, ammo and all the old pennies I can harvest.

Uh, no.

Other people's stuff craving Bernie supporters are pretending they weren't Berned and that the sops of patronization thrown their way by those desparate to insure the most corrupt by both corporations and foreign nationals candidate ever is elected actually mean any shift in policy.

I went for property over gold/silver.

As for the hardware I got a starter kit here, but the warlord kit is across the border on my patch of nobody gives a fuck NV.

Good luck with getting that through a bought and paid for congress.

It's quite sad to watch grown adults' submission to the rich and their lies.

Big pharma and biotechs are an integral part of the deep state. They aren't going to let their favourite cash cow be fucked with.

When you centralize government, you make it more easy to purchase and worth the price.
