Mark Cuban, not Congress, will give Americans cheaper prescription drugs
****
When universal health care fails to pass in Congress, there’s always Mark Cuban to fall back on. The billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner launched an online pharmacy this week in order to combat the price gouging of prescription drugs by large pharmaceutical companies.
Citation: https://www.r2library.com/Resource/Title/0826102549
The Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Co. (MCCPDC) will offer more than 100 generic drugs that will be purchased directly from the manufacturers and sold online with a 15 percent markup across the board and a small pharmacist fee. For context, pharmaceutical companies generally mark prices up at least 100 percent and up to 1000 percent in some cases.

1. 18% of Healthcare Workers have left their job since 2020.
2. 66% of ICU and Acute Care Nurses have considered leaving.
3. ICUs are so short staffed that they have had to run at 4:1 patient to nurse ratios… the normal is 2:1 .
4. A Florida hospital spent $24 Million in 2021 on temporary workers to cover for labor shortages… normally they spend $1 Million per year.
5. Nurses average age is 52 and 19% of nurses are over 65 … the nursing workforce is older because younger people do not want the job.
Why?

Why Are Certain Medications Non-Formulary?
What Are Formulary Tiers and Its Rules?
Formularies Have Many Rules Associated With Them:
1) Prior Authorization – Approval Must Be Given by the Health Insurance Company/PBM Before They Agree to Pay for a Medication.
2) Step Therapy – Certain Less Expensive Generic Medications Have to Be ‘Tried’ First and Fail Before a Doctor Can Prescribe a More Expensive Brand-Name Medication.
3) Mandatory Generics – If a Brand Name Medication Has A Direct Generic Equivalent, Then the Insurance May Only Agree to Pay for the Generic and Not the Brand.
4) Mandatory Mail Order – Certain Chronic Medications That Are Filled for 90 Day Supplies Must Be Filled via Mail Order and Not at the Retail Pharmacy.

The RAND Corporation Found that Commercial Health Insurance Plans Pay Hospitals 241% What Medicare Pays.
But Also That It Varies from 150% to 400%.
BY ERIC BRICKER MD
Health Insurance Companies Paid for Hospital Outpatient Services at an Even Higher Average Rate of 293% of Medicare.
A Detailed Look at the RAND Analysis Reveals that the ‘Basket’ of Services at Each Hospital Had Very Little Data .
For Example, the RAND Study’s Data for the Baylor Scott & White Hospital System in Dallas – Fort Worth Represented Only 0.4% of the Hospital’s Total Revenue.
For the Texas Health Hospital System Also in Dallas – Fort Worth, the RAND Study’s Data Only Represented 0.96% of the Hospital’s Total Revenue.
That Sample Size Is Likely Too Small to Make Accurate Comparisons from One Hospital System to Another Regarding their Commercial Insurance Prices Relative to Medicare.
ASSESSMENT: Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
