Drugmakers to raise prices of 350 drugs
at start of 2023

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 12/31/2022 8:39:08 PM

Drugmakers are set to raise the prices of 350 drugs at the beginning of 2023. Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline PLC, Bristol Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca PLC, and Sanofi SA are among several drugmakers set to raise prices, according to healthcare research firm 3 Axis Advisors, Reuters reported. The price hikes are in response to a number of factors, mainly inflation, supply problems, and the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act, which will allow Medicare, the national government's health insurance program for seniors and people with certain disabilities, to negotiate several drug prices directly starting in 2026.

How many billions did they make off of covid? Wasn't that enough for their greed for a few years? If the cost to make it has really gone up, why do other countries sell the same drug for a lower price?

They will have to mark up even more the drugs that they sell under their company name that are made in China. As though they don’t mark them up enough already. CEOs never make enough millions. It is somehow satisfying that their wealth doesn’t bring better health, happier or longer lives than the rest of us.

One relative has to take a special cancer drug that costs $11,000 per year. But, if it cures the cancer, and apparently it has a good chance of doing it, then I guess that's worth it. Insurance paying a the majority, but still a good bit of cash. And now it will be more.

Yes, the numbers are in the billions but they lost more on COVID than they made because the smart half of the population found out about the clot shot in time to avoid it. They are stuck with tons of the stuff in inventory and must raise the price of everything else to avoid bankruptcy. They are still advertising their shots even though the "predicted" COVID comeback this Winter did not materialize.

There are consequences to messing around with Mother Nature. So Medicare will “negotiate” prices with Big Pharma and will no doubt get a 9% reduction in prices. Pharma gets to keep the increases due to inflation and supply issues, which by the way, were caused by the Democrats reversing everything Trump had put in place, Boy. that showed ‘em!

The reason drug prices for the same drug are cheaper in other countries is because they have the citizens of the U.S. paying higher prices to make up the difference. Ever notice the number of prescriptions waiting to be picked up at every pharmacy? It appears the entire country is on drugs. Also, it's the same reason Europe has really nice train stations and a high-speed rail system. Europe hasn't had to pay for their defense. Europe has had Uncle Sam pick up the tab to defend those countries for the last seventy years.

My HMO annual $ cap for my wife and myself went from $11K in 2022 to $17K in 2023 , which is approx a 55% INCREASE. and people are concerned with the price of eggs ? Health care is where inflation is REALLY dramatic. and that was not the only large increase far beyond the inflation rate. some others were in the 50% range.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and former President Donald Trump’s 2024 senior adviser Boris Epshteyn slammed the New York Times on Sunday for portraying Trump in a Saturday hit piece as distrustful of the New York state congresswoman, despite the fact Stefanik and Trump speak with one another multiple times a week. The Times article, which cited two anonymous sources close to Trump, alleged the former president does not trust Stefanik, a claim Stefanik’s team and Trump’s adviser, Boris Epshteyn, told Breitbart News was totally fake news. (Tweet) Stefanik and Trump’s relationship has appeared to be one of the strongest alliances within the America First movement. Trump endorsed Stefanik in 2021 to replace Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY)

I’ve spent the last month mentally recuperating from one of the most grueling yet fulfilling moments of my life so far. When I started on-the-ground coverage of the Arizona general election in September, I had no idea that I would become a regular member of one of the most highly-watched press pools in the nation. And for a college student, that’s objectively terrifying, even though I’m not exactly “brand new” to the media world. Let’s just say, the pace began increasing quickly as the fall months melted into each other. I learned fast that I had to go beyond my own understanding of time management in order to balance

Trevor Bickford appeared to be a typical, all-American teenager before he allegedly became a radicalized Muslim and slashed two cops with a machete in Times Square. The alleged Islamic extremist, 19, once made the school honor roll, won awards for his artwork and was a member of the championship football team in his hometown of Wells, Maine. But after his father died of a drug overdose in 2018, it's believed Bickford's life descended into turmoil. By the time Bickford made his way to New York City on Amtrak alone for the alleged attacks this weekend, the teen was already reportedly on the FBI's radar.

Kohberger, 28, was arrested Friday in his family home in Pennsylvania for the fatal Nov. 13 stabbings of four University of Idaho students. His public defender Jason A. LaBar released the statement on behalf of his parents and his sister. “We have fully cooperated with law enforcement agencies in an attempt to seek the truth and promote his presumption of innocence rather than judge unknown facts and make erroneous assumptions,” the family said.

The January 6th committee recently ended with a whimper after a year of pomp and circumstance. Despite much manipulation of information by its members, the committee’s report garnered all of about eight hours of headline news before quickly burning out. Why? Because there was almost nothing revealed that we didn’t already know in it, and no matter how much Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and the rest insisted otherwise, they themselves never produced an ounce of evidence that Donald Trump orchestrated and was responsible for the Capitol breach. Still, there was something interesting shown in the testimony of now-infamous Ray Epps, the man who was caught on video multiple times
