america is so fucking based man

in any proper country that company at least gets forced to pay by the government then ordered to shut down forever due to wanton cruelty. all the employees get generous severance except whoever made that call. depending upon your view of carceral punishment there are a few ways to go with that guy.

    What’s most pathetic is the scale. $2.1 million may seem like a lot for a single use drug, but that $2.1 mil loss dissipated out to shareholders probably isn’t so much. I don’t have the exact numbers but I’ll bet the loss of revenue isn’t even a blip to the average shareholder income.

    They’re killing newborns based for what amounts to nothing to them. It’s sick.

      It’s not a loss if nobody was going to pay that much anyway. It’s like IP owner’s wildly inflated claims of losses due to piracy.

          No, I don’t know what you mean. Because you’re clearly confusing what insurers do and what pharmas do.

            Wait, so Insurance companies aren’t publicly traded companies with stockholders? Dropping a covered drug so they wouldn’t have to pay out isn’t protecting their stock price? Maybe I am confused.
