Suppose there is only one medicine to cure your disease, and this medicine is monopolized by capital and soars, will you still buy this sky-high drug?A few years ago, the movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine" told the story of a group of low-level people who struggled to survive after falling ill.
However, in reality, there are people who make billions of profits every year from this drug. Four pharmaceutical companies are involved, one is Shanghai Pharmaceutical Biochemical, a subsidiary of Shanghai Pharmaceutical, and the other three are Hubei pharmaceutical companies, but behind it is the same boss. How do they do it?
Sky-high prices of drugs have brought down the family.
This drug is called perennial sulfate B for injection, which is a specific drug for **carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria, and there is currently no substitute. According to the penalty notice of the Shanghai Market Supervision Bureau, the average price of this drug in foreign countries is only 65 yuan, but in China it has increased 40 times, and the price of each bottle is as high as 2,300 yuan.
One patient's family complained that his father was sick and needed five pills a day but could not afford them, while other patients advised him to use imported medicines for only three to four hundred yuan each. Do you feel incredible, how can a thing of a few tens of yuan rise to more than 2,000 yuan?Let's move on.
Their specific process is as follows: three enterprises in Hubei are all controlled by the same boss, and one of them buys drug raw materials from abroad at more than 80 yuan per gram, and then at 1. per gram80,000 to 350,000 ** sold to the only domestic biochemical manufacturer that can produce this drug for processing.
Miracle medicine Glenin.
After the reform of medical insurance, enterprises cannot openly increase the price dozens of times for sales, so how does this black-hearted boss operate?He registered a bunch of companies, kept changing hands and raising prices, and slowly raised the **, as an alliance of interests, he cooperated with them in the processing fee, from the initial processing fee of 140 yuan per stick to 200 yuan, and this year it rose to 230 yuan, and the processing fee alone can buy a few imported drugs.
The result of this operation is that the drug, which originally only cost a few dozen yuan, was sold for 2,300 yuan each, and who will pay for it?Patients & Medicare**. Last year alone, 750,000 copies of the drug were sold, and billions of dollars were earned from patients, according to Shanghai Pharmaceutical's annual report.
Later, the regulatory authorities found out that the cat was greasy, and after investigation, Shangyao Biochemical illegally profited through processing fees and other means33.5 billion yuan, the regulatory authorities recently issued a specific fine to it, according to the profit amount of Shanghai Pharmaceutical Biochemical and the fine of 3% of sales, a total fine of 4.6 billion yuan, and the other three according to the profit amount, Hubei boss was fined nearly 8 billion yuan.
Ironically, at the request of the Medical Insurance Bureau and the investigation of the relevant departments, they themselves reduced the drug's hanging net from 2,300 yuan to 270 yuan, a decrease of nearly 90%. Similar situations abound in the medical world, where many medical capitals specialize in monopolizing certain drugs and raising prices sharply, which is also their means of making profits.
Shanghai Medical Insurance Company was fined 1.2 billion.
Another point worth thinking about is that in the whole thing, it is impossible for patients to use these sky-high drugs by name, so the problem arises;In addition to black-hearted capitalists, who else are fueling the flames and aiding the abuse, it should really be investigated. Although many people wear white coats, their hearts are darker than those of capitalists.
When the whole place is full of rats, no matter how much we personally pay for medical insurance, we can't fill their greedy pockets. Although some people are called doctors, what should be said is over, please support!
