Nearly $100 per pill

Edit: nearly $50 per pill, thought a course was 15 pills instead of 30. Still outrageous.

My life saving benlysta is something like $3k/mo before insurance, $1k/mo after, but luckily I get it basically free... For now.

Drug pricing is crazy. They want to recoup their r&d, but almost nobody even pays the full cost. Why not just charge something reasonable...
