Greedy pigs!!!!

Agreed, but because the price is so damn high, many patients are going to have to wait until their disease advances to get treatment. Gilead has the luxury of being the first, but as newer agents come to market, as long as the cure rates are close enough and the price is significantly less, price will win. Gilead has won the battle, but not the war. The Gilead name is now equated to greed and most people have a low opinion of that and tend to remember the bad over all else.

What was/is the name of the company with the Hep C drug (more expensive btw) that was best in class before Sovaldi? What's the name of the companies that make Oncology drugs that "prolong" life by a few months and cost over $100,000? Exactly. Just because you have an axe to grind with Gilead doesn't mean the rest of the world does.

Oh, OK. So Gilead isn't ever in the news over this. Gotcha!
BTW the oncology drugs are def. in the news too but people don't remember the companies.
Gilead is front and center, but go ahead and keep your head in the sand.
And don't shoot the messenger.
 






All over the headlines for selling a 6 week drug for 84,000. You should be ashamed of yourselves! Pathetic!!!!

Dumb ass! The cost of treating a patient prior to Sovaldi coming out was more expensive with a significantly longer treatment time.

1. OLysio + Pegasys + ribaviron =$106673. 48 weeks
2. Incivek + Pegasys + ribaviron =$106418. 48 weeks
3. Victrelis + Pegasys + ribaviron =$95845. 48 weeks
4. Solvadi + Pegasys + ribaviron=$94078. 12 weeks

In addition, the only reason there is so much hype around the cost is because the influx of patients now seeking treatment due to 100% cure rates with Solvadi never before seen in HCV treatment. These payers didn't budget for them and now are complaining about the cost when prior treatments were more expensive. Furthermore, the cost is 63k for 8 weeks not 6 weeks for 84,000.

So why don't you get your facts straight you stupid fuck! Shut your pie hole and sit your ass down where it belongs! That's all! Thanks for playing.....

Bam! And there it is!!! The cost of the treatment regimen isn't based upon how long the treatment time is. It's based upon competitively pricing it with other regimens to achieve a 100% cure rate! These rates have never been seen before in HCV history!!
 


















Too bad your stock price is plunging with the new HCV competition coming!! Bawhahahaha! Greedy Bastards!

Ha. Same thing happened when Solvadi was approved. Then it went to 108! Now the first ever single tablet for HCV is approved with Harvoni. Watch and learn dumbass. Analysts are pricing the stock at 130! Bawhahahahahahahahah back at you beotch!! Hard to be first in class!!!

Well considering this last weeks huge plunge in the Dow, we need some stocks to climb. This is a 1000+ point decline
