Kal-El814 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 As I have said for years and years, this is the shit people should be concerned about MUCH more than pharmas hoarding and not selling working cures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 The drug isn’t being prescribed at even close to the rate Biogen hoped. Really no reason to anticipate that it will suddenly drown Medicare in expenses. But better for the fund to be prepared in case it does see a significant uptick in users.

Gavin King Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Most health plans aren't covering, most doctors aren't prescribing. The launch was botched. Until there's new evidence, or there's a change in behavior that starts to snowball, this won't be making the billions of dollars they hoped (probably just millions).
