    He's a tough guy to figure out, I'll give him that much. I can certainly say I'm glad I listened to his side of the story, something the media was not inclined to show.

    • @Terranova339
      @Terranova339 8 лет назад +14

      With the price being this low, most people werent willing to even produce it. So yeah, what he did was actually a benefit to MOST people, since it got the production back up again.

      he's not hard to figure out in the least. And why are you lauding yourself for 'listening to his side' and castigating the media for not showing it? News Flash: the media has never been interested in being inclined to fair coverage, you're not special for just now noticing this, infact it actually makes you stupid for not having realized it sooner.

    Here are the facts (that I got from this video):
    1. The existing drug sucks. Shkreli wants to make a new, better one.
    2. Shkreli's company needs money to do research on that.
    3. Shkreli raises the existing, sucky drug's price so that he can make money for the research.
    4. Insurance companies have to pay for that increase.
    5. Patients are not paying for it, and they are still getting it. Some get it for free.
    Is this wrong?

      So you would prefer places like the UK, where the NHS is draining billions and billions of pounds, yet it is struggling to even keep running because of all the people it is supporting. Or like in the Nordic countries where their tax rates can reach up to 70%. The US has a lot of flaws, but the Health Care System is not one of them. America is a capitalist country, where there is no safety net, but the sky is a limit, unlike in many other countries where the excellent are stifled to protect the average and below.

    • @skullypit
      @skullypit 6 лет назад +1

      Naim, no... insurance companys are not allowed to raise your premium for ongoing issues. If you are a higher risk of something, your premium can be higher.. Like smoking or the older you get. On the contrary some of the things you may go in for MAY NOT be fully covered by your insurance company. Which is the issue people have, you pick a dodgy company that only covers... 75% of treatments but their monthly premium is lets say 10 bucks a month... where as another company may be 20 to 30 a month but cover 100%.

    It's funny that all his fans will be the first people to say "The media is retarded, don't believe everything the media tells you, omg you're stupid"....

      Dan Maginnis Because you seem confident in your beliefs so you should test them to learn if you're right or not, there's no better person to do that with than Shkreli himself, and it is entirely possible for you to do so.

    • @SynphamyMusic
      @SynphamyMusic 8 лет назад +1

      Well i didn't mention my beliefs, just an observation of people suddenly trusting sleazy businessmen in suits like Trump & Shkreli. Besides, you remind me of a christian saying "you seem confident that god doesn't exist, why not read the bible and test your belief?" Why get information from the horses mouth when you don't even believe in the horse?

    • @piemonkey321
      @piemonkey321 8 лет назад +12

      Dan Maginnis You said you found it funny that people trust him, that absolutely is something you can go over in a discussion and draw better conclusions on. You can explain why you don't hear his side, and argue back and forth until you come to a conclusion (whether that is "yeah he's definitely full of shit" or "he's not full of shit" is irrelevant).
      You're claiming he is sleazy, and that is where I see bias, how do you *know* he's sleazy? Just as people believe he isn't, you believe he is. The reasoning why people do trust him is because they've listen to him explain his situation, and believe it is understandable. You, I assume, have also listened to him talk about it, and yet still remain unconvinced. That is a point to discuss, but the best available option would be to do it with Martin himself, considering he knows the subject matter better than anyone who supports him does.
      Comparing this to a religious discussion is really inaccurate. A religious discussion has only 1 claim, that there is a god (or gods), this discussion has 2, that Martin is trustworthy and not a bad guy, and that Martin should not be trusted.

    Martin is a pretty awesome guy...I'm pretty sure he has psychopathic tendencies, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in every case. Most of the worlds most successful CEO's are technically psychopaths. He's able to make calculated, precise decisions without the burden of feeling the emotional pressure from an uninformed (and media-manipulated) society. He's willing to be the bad guy in order to do some good.
    A few facts about this guy...
    1) He doesn't take a salary from his company...even though he is quite wealthy, he invests the profits from this company into research.
    2) This drug that he raised the price for is STILL much cheaper than similar drugs that treat the same thing.
    3) This drug does not treat AIDS and Malaria patients. In fact, it can actually complicate Malaria, and is no longer recommended, as better drugs are available. This drug treats an extremely specific complication commonly found with AIDS victims, and not ALL AIDS victims....only a few thousand people need this drug.
    4) If anyone can't afford, doesn't have access to, or doesn't have insurance, Martin's company will give this drug for free to those individuals, and as mentioned, over 60% of the drug is given away.

      1.) I just explained that nobody has to pay any more money than they did before the price hike. They pay the same with insurance, and if they don't have insurance, they don't pay anything.
      2.) Turing Pharma only has the rights to Daraprim in the U.S.. They aren't selling the product in any 3rd world countries. And I just explained, that if you have insurance you can get it for approximately the original price, and if you don't have insurance, the company will quite literally give you Daraprim for free. Do some research before you act like you know things.

    If anyone who criticised him put some thought in to what he was doing, who was telling you the bad information about him and how the drug actually gets to the patient then people really wouldn't hate this guy so much and they could understand a lot of his actions. To be honest the politicians wanted him put away which should ring alarm bells at first, that means most of the medical industry probably wasn't happy about his choice which would usually make them look bad but luckily for them they had the media to villifacte him.

    Im not seeing why this guy is being made out to be so evil.. Assuming everything in this video is accurate, then I can totally see where his logic is coming from.
    1.Drug still remains very affordable for the majority of those whp need it.
    2. Only insurance companies end up actually feeling the price increase. (honestly its about damn time someone made THEM pay)
    3. Price increase now means new and better version of the drug sooner rather than later, since his company is devoting 60% of profits towards R&D for better drugs, (including other helpful drugs) far above what other companies are willing to commit.
    I understand that for those who need the drug and are now unable to obtain it, must feel very angry and agrivated, but our whole species seems to suffer from a serious lack of forethought and a willingness to make sacrifices now so that our future can be better. Im with this guy on the issue.

    • @1981bdt

      Problem with your second point. Do you know where insurance companies get their money? Hint: it doesn't just appear out of thin air. Every dollar they have to spend on a $750 pill (that should be $7) is a vital service that gets denied, is another premium increase, is another death to greed.

So our rates are goin' up newayz, its just a matter of time.

  • @TheCuriousNoob

    I agree with him. The drug was not profitable for a long time and increasing the price for R&D is a far better alternative than discontinuing the drug completely. They are a company not a charity. An overwhelming number of patients don't pay for the drug anyway.
    Also, I'm pretty sure he wasn't the only one who made this decision. Big corporations have several people running them. If he was the only person who called the shots at his company he wouldn't have time to make 2 hour RUclips videos
