Amgen's Enbrel & Abbvie's Humira compete. But not really.
One month after Abbvie hiked Humira monthly price by 7.4% to $5968, Amgen boosted Enbrel monthly price by--you guessed it--$7.4% to $5968.
This isn't competition. This is shadow pricing & it hurts patients/consumers.
Wow! SOS true and Rands Dad had - get this..... a PHARMACY that was seized by the govt which got her really jazzing about capitalism in America. Too bad this quote is true as In America we don’t have capitalism.
We have corporatism
So if anyone out there cares about Independent Pharmacy. RX Solutions is paying $142 on Symbicort 80 when our cost is $306. They are paying $137 on Breo 100 when our cost is $357. I will not fill these prescriptions because I need to be here tomorrow for other patients. #corrupt
