    Prescription drug prices in the United States - Wikipedia

    Prescription drug prices in the United States have been among the highest in the world. The high cost of prescription drugs became a major topic of discussion in the new millennium, leading up to the U.S. health care reform debate of 2009, and received renewed attention in 2015. High prescription drug prices have been attributed to government-granted monopolies to manufacturers and organizations lacking ability to negotiate prices.[1]

    Some of the highest prices include orphan drugs Lumizyme at $630,159 per patient in 2015, and Zolgensma at $2.1 million for a single-dose treatment in 2019. Several new treatments to cure Hepatitis C put a notable strain on insurance company and government health care budgets (including for prisons) due to the large patient population, resulting in rationing of the treatments. These include Harvoni at $91,589.40 per 12-week treatment in 2016, and simeprevir/sofosbuvir at $171,000 per treatment course in 2015.

      Insulin is a drug, you thick ****.

        Trump not in favour of the Boris deal though. General election 2019: No 10 defends Brexit deal after Trump criticism - BBC News

        Trump should keep his nose out of UK politics. Though by promoting Boris he is helping Korbyn.

        Would be funny if Korbyn was elected - seeing him and Trump dealing with each other...

          It's a hormone. Like your oestrogen patches.

                Guys, stop arguing with Minestrone - he thinks Trump is amazing and that the NHS should be sold to American insurance companies. All part of the master plan.

                Any facts thrown at him will be batted away, moving the goalposts, and questions will be deflected.

                  Because I've been working with clinical terminology for the last 20 years.

                    Jesus, the level of fooking stupid on here is astounding.
                    Ha ha, you really are precious. Faced with facts you still keep on arguing.
