Why does Acthar cost so much ?

[anonymous]

Mr Half-Wit: Taxpayers paying for Medicare or Medicaid procedures or drugs/therapies is an opinion and not a fact. Ok, recess is over, back to class.

We would never target a plan that approves ass star like star medicad...................

Not true, I have overheard your Acthar rep in South Carolina doing presentations over lunches. She does target the medicare and medicaid patients and tells the doctor that they cam get approved quickly and will cost patient less oop.

you are a special kind of stupid. Stop drinking the kool aid!!!

Sure...when a statement is true or makes sense just fall back on the Kool-aid drinker accusation. Special kind of stupid/ Kool aid drinker vs Half Wit. Haha.

Mr fact seeker.. Medicare (the tax payers) should not have to pay because your poorly run company over paid for an unproven drug and wants to get their investment back. There is a fact for you!!!

Here’s another fact Andrew. They do pay. And they pay for all others as well. Good luck fixing that loop hole asszunt. We aren’t the only ones. Go suck on that citrus face

if you agree that 5.6 billion is the correct fact...which it is, then how does a business cover its expenses for such a cost? It’s clear you hate the company and product ,which is fine, but you keep avoiding the fact that your basic question was answered. Your entire discussion has been void of facts except for 67 years and your other accusations are likely emotionally fueled opinions only.

Remind me again why Mallinckrodt paid a $100M fine?
Why is the House of oversight questioning Mallinckrodt about Acthar Medicare spend for a drug that’s primary use is IS?
Why would 60minutes, CNN, and JAMA do expose’s on Mallinckrodt/Acthar if there isn’t wrong doing going on?
Have you read the MediPac information on Acthar?
Because Mallinckrodt overpaid doesn’t mean tax payers pick up the tab. You got ripped off, it was a bad bet. You lost. Own it.
Acthar is unproven and experimental in most TA’s and criminally priced (that why they paid the fine, because it was illegal behavior, price fixing). Not opinions, facts.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, more appalling is the illegal promotion, false medical claims that are happening in most TA’s. Pure scumbags, telling drs anything to get referrals. Now scurry back to your dark dirty corner of Pharma and quietly take your filthy money while you still can.

Are we talking about the same SC rep who is Fing a Mali paid speaker and investigator . The same one who also promotes off label? The one who compliance refuses to deal with because she brings in $$. $$ matters, not patients.

oh, you mean like the scumbag shorts or activist investors who like to stir up dirt or create doubt in order to make $$$$ by driving the stock lower? Yeah, you certainly don’t occupy any moral high ground. You create nothing except sit on the sidelines and attempt to manipulate stock through the media.

Not referring to that one, although they are friends and both fing for R&B!

Providers write it because they are lied to by the rep and the reps manager about Efficacy and side fix. It’s all false claims marketing fraud. Not to mention criminally priced.
Asstar is garbage. Mnk is for soulless consciousless greed driven people. If you work there and are happy you are broken internally, seek help.

No, no, no, it's about the Babies..... Right, we need to justify the high cost to save the Babies....

 

[anonymous]

then I guess saving babies only cool if it’s cheap

It would be cheap if it wasn’t purchased from the original gougers at Questcor with the intent of gouging even more.

Let’s not hide behind the saving babies crap. This was a play for a bunch of big Pharma people to buy into rare disease and run cover for the rest of their failures with a compound that requires little to no additional work (BS studies aside)

 

[anonymous]

ok, good then you admit that the reason it is expensive is because it was purchased at a high price from Questcor....which answers the basic question posed. Listen, if something cheaper works the same or better, then USE it! It’s called “step-therapy” half wit...and that is what Providers and Health Plans do to control spending....make sure the least expensive and least toxic/safest are used first. When those don’t work then they consider more expensive. Go back to class...middle school...right?

Make sure the most overpriced pig poo is safe and effective in each of its indications while you’re at it. How many indications would Acthar get applying today given its current data set?

Here’s another fact Andrew. They do pay. And they pay for all others as well. Good luck fixing that loop hole asszunt. We aren’t the only ones. Go suck on that citrus face

This is classic mnk behavior. Admission of guilt but “not the only ones” robbing healthcare. Somehow makes it ok?! Pure scum, no integrity.
Loophole is the amount of indications Acthar has without proven efficacy/safety for. Fix that by proving or pull from market.
Now that mallinfraud was forced to sell its only competition (Another example of the immoral, rotten scum you defend and stand for) price will come down.

aspirin would have a different label if it went through FDA now, dipshit

its disguting and ridiculous that this goes on. I have personally tried to address it and was told to look the other way. I even met with compliance. Nothing happened.

So why does Acthar cost so much? How much does it cost to make?
