@@ashleybanks-wm4cg insurance companies raise premiums all the time. Companies switch insurance companies they offer their employees all the time because of it. There is less coverage every year. This is exactly how insurance companies work.
No mention in this interview of who is paying the $750 pill: everyone who has insurance. This is why health insurance costs so much in this country. Sorry bud, you are not a saint. You're making money off all of us
If you believe his explanation, I have a bridge to sell you. He’s extremely manipulative, a flat out liar and a narcissist. He claims nobody cared about the price increase. Do you really believe that?
Do you think the fact that he went to PRISON for lying is an indication that his explanation is probably NOT the truth? Anyone can Google toxoplasmosis treatment guidelines. He said that toxoplasmosis can be treated with daraprim(pyrimethamine) OR bactrim(tmp-smz). However, guidelines indicate patients should be treated with daraprim AND bactrim. BOTH medications are need for the patient to fight the infection and SURVIVE. Insurance will not just pay for a medication that costs $750 per pill. It HAS to be approved. Anyone who has had to deal with getting insurance approval for medication knows that it's a long process that requires time. TIME that HIV patients do not have. It is very possible that patients could have died waiting for the drug.

I don't buy this story. Why would you raise the price of a drug that has competition that sells for 10 cents a pill? Why would insurance companies be willing to pay that?
This is my field and I remember laughing when this story hit the news because that drug wasn't essential at all, there were alternatives that cost way less but no one mentioned it. What happened here wasn't a case of acting in bad faith or breaking competitive pricing laws or anything like that it was simply a way to attack Martin and take control of the company that owned the rights to Daraprim. The whole case was a sham. He was guilty of greed yes but people act that by him doing this people were dying. If everyone really cared as much as they say they do they'll go after those manipulating Insulin prices and other diabetic drugs and the ridiculous pricing of immunotherapy drugs and bisphosphonates in some places. There are examples all over, this case was blown up because it was low hanging fruit and they wanted Martin's blood.
@@davruck1 no one said he's a good guy, only a naive person would think that there are many good guys at the level folks like Martin operate.

Very smart person, interesting person, entertaining person and funny person. If he was not on this greedy evil path, he can actually be a mayor of a major city and makes a huge difference.
Before this interview, I did not think highly of Martin Shkreli, at all. But now, he seems very likeable, funny, charming and a nice guy. Why didn’t we see THIS side of Martin when he was considered “the world’s biggest demon”? I would actually hang out with him.
I don't know... He says he's smart... yet 7 years in jail? For a guy with as much access to funding and power as he's got, you have got to be not too too smart to end up getting hard time.
dude is clueless to what "Pharma Bro" meant. The cluelessness is the definition of stock bro or Pharma bro. It does not indicate that they are stupid. They are very smart, just naïve of the struggle of the common man or woman.
There is nothing Alpha about this weasel. He never explained why he raised the price of the drug. He criticized media for investigating his shenanigans. He wants to operate with impunity and under the cover of darkness.
I mean I don’t like dude either but I think he’s telling the truth. We all looking past the “if the patient couldn’t afford it they got it for free” part. The thing he’s missing is that it was his smug attitude about it that made him a villain.
