Am I misunderstanding this? The people who wrote that are trying to blame poor people using Medicare for the fact that their useless and toxic product is not yielding as much revenue as expected, because the monopolist is forced to sell at a "discounted" price.

The text is suggestive of a big financial flop in the making, and they are scapegoating months in advance from the event!

It's amazing the chutzpah of these people!

The war racket is a more honest form of fraud and extortion than the pharma racket.

“Biktarvy sales and Descovy for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)”. For PrEP? I thought these were regular hiv drugs. This is continuing to get out of control. They’re just pushing the more expensive drugs for everything (generic Truvada/prep: $7,500/yr; Descovy: $30,000/yr; Biktarvy: $93,500/yr) - to increase their profits. The lies and greed don’t stop!

They are, but they are ALSO used for PrEP in people that have no hint of “HIV” expressed in their blood. It’s egregious—as the commenter above wrote, the chutzpah is off the charts.

Here’s a primer. Basically Gilead covered up the known toxicities of a drug they make bank on.
