I thought you were talking about PrEP and was like "that's incredibly lovely how am I going to suck massive amounts of cum out of strange dick now". hosed up that you made me have to think that thought


Martin Shkreli is the CEO of a small pharmaceutical company called Turing, they bought the rights to a prescription drug called Daraprim, and hiked the price 5000%. Daraprim is used to treat patients with HIV, malaria, and toxoplasmosis, so people will go into massive debt trying to not die due to an evil pharmaceutical corporation but what else is new

Goons would rather talk about Reddit and dota

he's counting on insurance companies to cover it, and in order to cover it, they're gonna have* to jack up their premiums, and they will, because while I'm not entirely sure, i'm willing to bet going off the pill sucks so loving bad that people are going to pay these new prices

insurance companies, hospitals, doctors and this loving prick have been loving each other like dogs for years, however this is the rare example of all four of them humping out in the streets where we can all see them, with the added modifier of the owner of the pill wearing sunglasses and flipping off passing cars

*edit: ahahaha i'm sorry i shouldn't lie like that - they don't HAVE to jack up their premiums, but the CEO wants to buy TWO yachts this year and he'll be hosed sideways if he's going to settle on just the one

I thought at first maybe this was a guy showing how this kind of awful thing is made possible and that there needs to be laws governing it, because its easy for any corporation to do exactly this.

The fact he's a DOTA playing Redditor means I retract my original belief.

I kinda think his plan was actually to just acquire it, drive up the price to make stockholders think he's cornered the market on a valuable commodity and then blackmail other companies who want to do the right thing by selling the drug to them at way more than what his company paid to acquire it.

I don't think his plan involved people actually paying that much for the drug. Because if he did... then yeah that's retarded.
