Drug Companies Pay Off Competition
The Supreme Court has decided not to review a federal appeals court ruling that allows drug companies to pay for delay, in the name of greedy profit. (1)
“Pay-for-delay” agreements are “win-win” for the companies: brand-name pharmaceutical prices stay high, and the brand and generic share the benefits of the brand’s monopoly profits.
Consumers lose, however: they miss out on generic prices that can be as much as 90% less than brand prices.
For example, brand-name medication that costs $300 per month might be sold as a generic for as little as $30 per month” (2)
Supreme Court Ignores People's Needs
The Supreme Court has sided with pharmaceutical companies that pay other drug companies to not put their (less expensive) generic drugs on the market.
Of course this action allows the drug company with the name brand Rx to milk more money from Americans and America’s tax money that funds Medicare and Medicaid.
This just goes to show you who is really controlling America, because it’s not about you and me... it’s about the corporation.
Once again a ruling comes down on the side of almighty corporation. The people are expected to pony up to financial extortion, no matter what the cost.
