Rx Companies Raise Prices on COVID-19 Drugs - 3 views

  •  
    Big pharma companies have taken advantage of everyday Americans in need of their daily support during the chaotic times we live in. Many of the drugs used each day to help patients fighting Covid-19 have drastically gone up in price since the first case appeared in america. With these prices changes many Americans may not be able to get the proper help needed to get better, and as such may extend the time needed for us to fight off the virus as a whole.

    I personally did not know that this was happening right now, but it unfortunately makes sense because it is in such high demands. I do not think that they should be doing that & its awful that if someone can't pay for these drugs, they have a potential of losing their life, which should not be a problem.
  •  
    Of course big pharma would do this. By raising prices of these drugs, pharmaceutical companies are effectively making it more difficult for people with other healthcare conditions to afford these drugs. As an example, with the price of Ativan increasing, this may result in people who suffer from panic disorder to have difficulty affording a medication that they have a need for.

    As sad as this is, it's truly not surprising. Our society is so based on how much money someone does or doesn't have and companies will take advantage of it. Especially with the pandemic and the uncertainty of what helps, this is sickening.
  •  
    Wow, that is definitely not good
  •  
    This is extremely sad to hear especially because it seem like they are taking advantage of the pandemic but I also agree that it could because it is in high demand with our current situation.
  •  
    This is extremely sad to hear. On one hand it seems like companies are taking advantage with the pandemic but on the other hand because I also agree that with our current situation it could be these products are in very high demand.
  •  
    It is crazy to think that companies would prioritize profits over the help of the people. I understand the demand; however, it shouldn't be the only reason for the increase in price.
  •  
    When I read this article I thought to myself wow this is insane but to actually think about it, why? why is it so important to profit from something everyone in this world needs

Walmart lawsuit: Women are suing again over gender discrimination - Vox - 2 views

  •  
    Youman's attempt to seek a promotion that she was more than qualified for ended with her manager denying her and telling her its because she is a woman. The article explains the depth of Walmarts descrimination practices.
  •  
    I think this article was a wonderful way to give people insight on how big companies such as Walmart are discriminating against women. Many people use Walmart as their number one grocery store thus supporting the company. Many people are blind to these types of issues. Great article to find!
  •  
    This isn't related to my topic at all, but I thought it was amusing because I used to work for this horrible company. They would preach things like, "This is that place," which is a reference to how Walmart is "such a wonderful place to work." In reality, and I say this from experience as an ex-member of their management team, it is NOT a great place to work. They don't value their employees, they don't have consistency across the company, and they have horrendous accountability standards AND consistencies.
