So you think that more visibility for the consumer is a bad thing? The status quo is OK?
I’m not saying it will bring prices down over night but it’s a step in the right direction. The average person has NO IDEA how their drugs got to cost what they do, and the industry is near impossible to explain since it’s such a tangled mess of government, big pharma, middle men, and insurance companies.
Last year there was an uproar over a drug price that sky rocketed. CNBC had their CEO on and she could not even explain the distribution model that is used it how prices end up where they do
So yes, getting even an estimated wholesale price from the drug OEM would be a GREAT first step. At least then people have a sliver or more info and can start demanding some accountability once they have a better grasp of the real prices being paid to middle men
