New sovaldi pricing

Hi everyone, From Gilead press release

Gilead has discounted sovaldi 23% to all insurers. They are taking it a step further, by giving VA, and state medical insurers, a steeper discount . And giving copay coupons for $5 month.

The lowest net price would be a 46% discount.

That is $540.00 a pill

Drs and patients are happy

Investors showed their dis approval by dumping stock

When I did tx in 2012, I used peg/ RIBA, and incivek. The total cost of tx was 95,000. And the sides were horrific. Made int/ riba look like a walk in the park. The txment was one year.

Now you get a tx, that is 12 weeks, relatively no sides, and cost less than 50,000. And you really don't have to worry about retreating.

I think it is a good deal

Thanks Barry. I did look up the Gilead news yesterday and meant to post back to you. This is better than $1,000 per pill. Let's just hope everyone has the chance to treat before they have cirrhosis. MELD 35-40...too too high. Wow. Appreciate your info, always good stuff! Big Hugs
