A question, will patients pay for their treatment?

If that's the case, the government will be benefiting from such high prices. I am reading it'is Gilead sciences and they do have long history of manipulating production of effective treatments to promote old ones for the sake of financial gains.

It's dubious company.

@Miram Gilead is quite a shady company.

@Cierzo Gilead are thieves, and also were founded in part by the likes of Edward Bernays.

@Amyrakunejo The thought that comes to my mind is that Americans are cheated.
Gilead developed the drug with the help of taxpayer's money. The government is buying it using taxpayer's money. Those who will need it will have to pay for it...they will pay three times.
