The fact that Mark Cuban can do this is just further proof of how much capatalism is f*cking people over.
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban launched an online pharmacy Thursday that offers more than 100 generic drugs at an affordable price with a goal of being “radically transparent” in its price negotiations with drug companies.
For example, the leukemia drug imatinib is priced at$47 a month on MCCPDC compared to the $9,657 retail price.
The online pharmacy’s prices for generics factor in a 15% margin on top of actual manufacturer prices and a $3 pharmacist fee, the statement said.
PLEASE SPREAD THIS INFO
yes this is pretty unbelievable right now—but just look at the replies and reblogs of this post—look at all these people on twitter talking about their own experiences with it now too—this is actually real
and yes everyone is waiting for a catch, but remember it is a PRIVILEGE to think about not sharing this information out of spite for billionaires rather than needing this opportunity regardless of how long it lasts or if mark cuban is doing this for his own gain
so please share. thanks

For those of you wondering how the math works out so Mark Cuban can make money, it’s that 15% over manufacturer price. There’s an article on LinkedIn (no login required) that lays out how that works in a little more detail. It also covers gotchas like shipping and handling costs, the fact that online pharmacy costs don’t necessarily apply to insurance deductibles/out-of-pocket maximums, or the fact that for some (not all!) generic drugs other online or brick-and-mortar pharmacies may be cheaper.
Still, it’s good to have another alternative (especially for people who need medications with a high price even from the manufacturer).

Severus's face was incredibly close to hers, and as Hermione looked into his eyes, she noticed that they weren't truly black, but a deep, dark brown ...

*exits fanfiction*
Do we really believe that Harry Potter looked deep enough into Severus Snapes eyes to realize they are anything but dark? Did it even ever say that he has black eyes?
