    And a huge busn opportunity. I take 15% return any day of the week. Give it huge volume and it can be a very successful busn.

    “The pharmacy's prices reflect actual manufacturer prices plus a flat 15% margin and pharmacist fee," a press release from the company said. "With the help of digital healthcare company Truepill, patients can expect a seamless, secure e-commerce experience as they navigate the pharmacy's website, built and powered by Truepill's digital health platform. Patients will also enjoy reliable prescription fulfillment and delivery through Truepill's nationwide pharmacy footprint."

    Did you read the article? Did you see examples of how cheap the drugs will be comparatively speaking or did you see an opportunity to be insufferable?

    @Os Trigonum
    Look at the State Media thread

    I’m glad he’s doing this
    Les Alexander would never do that
    He doesn’t even know what the internet is

    Mark Cuban is a good dude
    He helped his former player from homelessness and drug addiction

    @Os Trigonum

    Les Alexander wouldn’t do that

    I'll requote, and see if he requotes you again without answering the question.

    I hear it makes the triple posting less awkward.

    I am so nice.

    Kudos to MC, at least he is trying to help, when I first heard he wasn't taking Insurance I was a bit skeptical but the cost savings is so large I can see that would add a layer to the process that would bog everything down, the insurance companies are the issue anyway so cut them out and go for the savings direct to the consumer. I hope this is a sign to come for other companies

    This is good. One not-so-great thing is that, apparently, the manufacturers of the drugs are not shown. Not all generic drugs are created equal; some work for folks and some don't, depending on the drug and issue. So that is a bummer. But I suspect that this is something those drug manufacturers insisted on.

    That is so right. Forgotten that I read how generics kept on racing towards lower and lower margins that China was able to swoop in and game the process.

    So you had all these lemming CEOs jumping off the money cliff to whatever "revolutionary process" those China boiler room pharmas were peddling. The revolution ofc, was less stringent oversight and regulation, which means the same assbag mentality that lead to poisoning baby infant formula to save whatever tf their currencies pennies are is now directly in our pill supply (albeit a small percentage).

    Once those generics get bigger, they start the same low margin process of producing precursors even for name brand drugs.

    Splendid... And uhh do your own research
