Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drug Company

[Wheelimus]

So this is old news but I'm having my first experience with them. A couple months back Billionaire Mark Cuban started a cost plus 15% pharmacy for generic drugs. I didn't think much of it until I had a new med refused by my insurance and my doctor insist I go on it. Got my first month's pills at Walmart with GoodRX, dropped it from $130 to $20. But then I found that on Cost Plus it would have been a little over 5 bucks. Next month my pills will be coming in the mail.

I've kept an eye on it, but I have a pretty good deal with the hospital I work at's pharmacy. Being a hospital employee has its benefit these days.

Goes to show how greedy our current healthcare system is. It means even the PHARMACIES are adding insane markups($9 would be a roughly 100% markup in this case. $130 would result in a markup of over 2700%). The entire system is broken.

Recently read that Medicare could save 4 BILLION just by using Cost Plus. Insane. The system is truly broken.

Can’t find another thread about the US health system (or lack of one), so I’ll post here. Saw in the socials that the former head of Transformers brand has a gofundme for medical expenditure… For $21,000. Which is one month’s costs. That’s… Yeah, I don’t really have any way to put into words what I feel about that. Beyond awful.
