first up, this fucking guy:

Ex-hedge funder buys rights to AIDS drug and raises price from $13.50 to $750 per pill

:

According to Shkreli, Turing will use the money it earns to develop better treatments for toxoplasmosis, with fewer side effects.

“This isn’t the greedy drug company trying to gouge patients, it is us trying to stay in business,” Shkreli explained, saying that many patients use the drug for far less than a year and that the new price is similar to other drugs used for rare diseases.

Shrkeli also defended his small pharmaceutical company saying, “It really doesn’t make sense to get any criticism for this.”

...

In 2011, Shkreli helped form Retrophin, which also acquired old drugs and immediately raised their prices. Retrophin’s board fired Shkreli a year ago and has filed a complaint in Federal District Court, accusing him of using Retrophin as a personal fund to pay back angry investors in his hedge fund.

As for Shrkeli’s claim that he will put the excess profits back into research, doctors say that isn’t needed in this case.

“I certainly don’t think this is one of those diseases where we have been clamoring for better therapies,” said Dr. Wendy Armstrong, professor of infectious diseases at Emory University in Atlanta.

The market is just.

schneibler elf · 09-21-2015, 05:48 PM

I'm trying to figure out what the "rights" are

schneibler elf · 09-21-2015, 05:52 PM

ok, "rights" is kind of misleading, because the patents are long expired. it sounds like it's more of a case of limited production/not profitable for other companies to develop the generic/etc.

fleet-footed Urban Youth · 09-21-2015, 05:55 PM

time for a "blast from the past" with this assemblage of national razor fodder!

Rich Californians balk at limits: ‘We’re not all equal when it comes to water'

:

People “should not be forced to live on property with brown lawns, golf on brown courses or apologize for wanting their gardens to be beautiful,” Yuhas fumed recently on social media. “We pay significant property taxes based on where we live,” he added in an interview. “And, no, we’re not all equal when it comes to water.”

HOW MUCH LONGER until we escort this scum to the lamp posts!!

We should probably start by getting off our asses.

But I'm only 9% done MGS V so it'll have to be after I'm done that.

:

Cycloserine, a drug used to treat dangerous multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, was just increased in price to $10,800 for 30 pills from $500 after its acquisition by Rodelis Therapeutics. Scott Spencer, general manager of Rodelis, said the company needed to invest to make sure the supply of the drug remained reliable. He said the company provided the drug free to certain needy patients.

In August, two members of Congress investigating generic drug price increases wrote to Valeant Pharmaceuticals after that company acquired two heart drugs, Isuprel and Nitropress, from Marathon Pharmaceuticals and promptly raised their prices by 525 percent and 212 percent respectively. Marathon had acquired the drugs from another company in 2013 and had quintupled their prices, according to the lawmakers, Senator Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, and Representative Elijah E. Cummings, Democrat of Maryland.

Doxycycline, an antibiotic, went from $20 a bottle in October 2013 to $1,849 by April 2014, according to the two lawmakers.

gentlemen, draw the circle, gather the initiates. it is time to summon the ghost of robespierre from hell to smite our foes.

I'd think that everyone with tuberculosis who needs the drug is needy by definition. Shitheads.
