I didn't watch the entire interview but he says he's from Brooklyn, modest beginnings. His parents were janitors. Now he's worth tens of millions. He came up.
But about hiking the drug price up, he claimed anyone who needs the drug but can't afford it is given it for free and actually over 2/3 of the drug that they "sell" are actually given away to those who can't pay.
Don't know how much of its true but, take it for what it's worth. |
Right - he's mostly bilking the government piggy bank, not the consumer, which is how all the smart money is trying to get rich these days. Consumers are fickle, risky business. Govt has endless pockets and is easily bought off with relative chump change. This guy's only problem is he's being way too public/douchey and not playing the game right.
That said, if some kind of real drug pricing reform comes out of this (like the govt can now negotiate with drug companies on Medicare pt. D prices) - this guy will be an accidental hero.
