All fine. The only part that I have trouble with in your message is the 1.5M number. Why should something like anemia cost 1.5M a year of treament? And out of that 1.5M a year to the hospital, how much goes to: a) administration
b) health care claims administration (a huge %age of the gap)
c) private equity profit numbers Do we even know? Is it ruly worth 1.5M? I ask because an MRI costs thousands in the U.S. And if I go oversees and pay out of pocket it costs something like $300 out of pocket - and I'm talking the U.K. here, not Turkey or Mexico. How do you explain that? |

I don’t know what worth means, but the price is the price. I can see all the bills that the insurance company pays the hospital, and the hospital collects $80k per dose of medicines like
https://www.asparlas.com/
And $100k+ for
https://www.blincyto.com/
And $10k to $15k for other infusions (can happen two times per week).
The hospital is owned by the government.
In general, pharmaceutical companies have huge profit margins and profits, and doctors earn a decent amount of money in the US, especially specialists. Also, liability is huge in the healthcare space, with awards in the millions and tens of millions.
>How do you explain that?
Bottom line is a lot of people earn a lot less money in other countries.
