As far as the end user sale...
it costs __me__ $60
at walmart pharmacy
It costs less than a dollar to make, and they charge 60$ to cover the loss incurred during r&d, if you have insurance than they would get charged that cost and then charge you a copay
I went for a Ventolin inhaler last week. 200 USD.
yes, the copay on a albuteral inhaler is $30(ish)
...but you came in during us discussing a pretty broad topic. ER/Hospital/Private Practice vs Pharma vs EMS.
So?
Read the name
yes, i just chimed in about the pharma issue
Yeah it seems like a pretty multi-faceted topic.
I'm barely keeping up googling stuff and following the chat.
It's fucking interesting stuff though
I meant Epic. He was saying that I was incorrect about cost involving EMS. I was explaining why, in EMS, some meds cost more and how it's not the same as hospital care.
i said absolutely nothing about ems. i was very specificaly responding to the pharma issue
One moment, EBM, do you mind if I call you that?
u can call me pretty much anything u want, as long as i can recognize it
It is rather shocking, isn't it? @nimble_newt
because the pharma issue is one that has the most international considerations
yeah @Jeremy is there a book I can read to brush on the topic.
Maybe my childish and somewhat naive desire to help people could use some reconsideration.
I find the whole thing interesting though.
I used up emotes on my posts to show you where the segway was.
EBM, Brokkr was referencing the production cost.
Yeah. It's a boatload of separate issues all shoved into one box.
Just come over to LouderWithCrowder's Discord, and read what Brokkr and I have written on the subject.
Pharma has its issues. Hospital/Private has its issues. EMS has its issues.
....and of course none of this is even addressing medical equipment. Just drugs.
"production costs" is rather misleading.
but i'll admit that i'm not following this as closely as i could; so i should jsut stfu
Not saying that. Just trying to catch you up.
("this", meaning the present convo)
nah, i got shit to do anyway
Well, it was not my intention to imply, infer or otherwise make you believe I felt you should not have input.
I just want to make sure my words are understood, is all.
stop being so fucking nice.
u ain't gonna last too long acting like tat
<:FeelTheBarn:591276979844808734>
I fully expect the respect I extend in advance.
That's just how I operate.
nah, it's cool nig.
i really am not giving the convo the attention it probably deserves; that one thing just happen to catch my eye as i was scrolling it down
Ah ok. Fair enough.
Speaking of, I can't find an invite link to LWC.
