Big Pharma's Karma

In the year of 2019, the pharmaceutical market was worth just under 1.3 trillion dollars. That is a large amount of money to wrap your head around. With 1.3 trillion dollars in USD, you would be able to buy 6.5 Million lamborghinis!

Many people in the United States cannot afford their prescriptions- even if their lives depend upon it. That is all about to change, and we have someone to thank for it.

Best known for the hit show, "Shark Tank" and being the owner of the Dallas Mavericks Basketball Team, Mark Cuban is a multi billionaire. Not everything is about money as he is about to prove to the world. Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company is on online site where consumers are able to buy medications online at cost. That means that medications will be sold far cheaper than large pharmaceutical companies and doctor offices will provide them for. The websites outline under the tab 'Our Mission' states,

"We started Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company because every American should have access to safe, affordable medicines. If you don’t have insurance or have a high deductible plan, you know that even the most basic medications can cost a fortune. Many people are spending crazy amounts of money each month just to stay healthy. No American should have to suffer or worse - because they can’t afford basic prescription medications.. . We started this company as an effort to disrupt the drug industry and to do our best to end ridiculous drug prices. Thanks for your support, and please let us know what you think!"

One of the main goals for this website is to break down the cost of medications so customers know exactly what they are paying for. Every time medication is ordered there will be a receipt provided of how much the medication actually cost, only a 15% fee to help pay their employees (to keep their company going since there isn't profit) and their processing fee that is always just $3 USD. Besides the three dollars and the 15% fee to help keep the company going- customers are going to pay the amount it cost to make their medication.

This is life changing. I decided to look up a rather common medicine to see what the cost difference would be. Lamotrigine Extended Release (ER) is a medication used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder. This is what the website offers with it's Transparent Pricing- I did not have to buy the product to view this:

For a patient taking this medication long term, they will take 50 mg a day. That is two pills a day, with a prescription including thirty pills. A person that needs this prescription would need a new prescription every two weeks. For a month of Lamotrigine Extended Release (ER), patients can expect to pay over $300 a month for their prescription from their doctor's pharmacy. Online at Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, patients will pay less than $22 after shipping.

A TIKTOK user by the name of gailchrest commented:

"I have a rare type of leukemia (CML) that has a targeted therapy that costs nearly 10K/MO ($10,000 a month) for a pill needed forever to live. He's selling it for $47!!"

Another user, kasonwhitsell, commented:

"They're selling my medication for my brain for 4,500 times less than what I'm getting it for now. This is insane."

This company is making a difference!

Please share and let us spread the word to help many people around the world live better lives. There are not any extra steps. Patients still stay with their current doctor to be given a prescription for a medication. Patients give their doctor the information provided on the website and their doctor will write out a new prescription to use.

Remember the saying, "Don't hate the player, hate the game."? Well watch out big pharma companies; the rules of the game are changing and we do hope that you hate them because we, the people, will love it.
