People's livelihood items are all up! Nowadays, even the "Side Capsules" for the treatment of liver cancer and other patients with tumor angiogenesis is inflated. Taiwan Toyo Pharmaceutical Industry Co., Ltd. recently notified all medical institutions and physicians that starting from September 15th, each capsule will start from 70 yuan per capsule. It will be raised to 500 yuan, and some medical centers have increased it from 75 yuan per pill to 540 yuan. Not only are the patients screaming in grief, but even the doctors slam the table and scold the drug dealers for their lack of conscience! (It is ineffective against cancer and wants to increase the price. Readers can now see clearly the true face of Western medicine factories? Even conscientious Western doctors are angry.)
Zhang Fuxin, a reader of our newspaper, said yesterday that he was diagnosed with liver cancer at the end of last year, and it had metastasized to his lungs in May this year. Now he is taking two "Side Capsules" a day, hoping to prevent tumor angiogenesis. This drug is not covered by health insurance. The patient has to pay by himself. He does not have a job, and any extra payment has already caused a burden on the family. The hospital informed him the day before yesterday that starting from September 15th, a drug will increase from 70 yuan to 500 yuan. to rise. (The results of this person's belief in Western medicine have already transformed from liver cancer to lung cancer. At this stage, he still believes in Western medicine. He really will die.)
Zhang Fuxin said that he called the Consumers' Foundation to complain, and the Consumers' Foundation advised him to call the Health Insurance Bureau, which advised him to call the Department of Health, and the Department of Health told him to call the Taichung City Health Bureau. On the issue of price, the local health bureau has no jurisdiction. He expressed grief and indignation, should the patient die? (This person really deserves to die, why not seek medical treatment?)
Wang Bomin, Director of the Radiation Oncology Department of Taichung Clarification Hospital's Hong Kong Campus, said yesterday that the pharmaceutical company notified all medical institutions and doctors across the country last Wednesday. At that time, some doctors were so angry that they slapped the table and cursed "no conscience". "Side Capsules" can be sold abroad for 2,000 yuan per capsule. (Western pharmaceutical companies understand people’s hearts very well. The reason for the price increase is because Western pharmaceutical companies believe that the more expensive the drug, the more people will believe that the drug is effective. This is human nature, and they just happened to meet the super-rotten Toyo Pharmaceutical Company.)
Oligomarket Toyo claims reasonable prices (shameless.)
Director Wang Bomin said that "Side Capsules" is an oligopoly in the market, and some people are so popular that they threaten to boycott it, but the only alternative drug is a targeted therapy drug from another pharmaceutical company, and the cost of the drug is as high as 95,000 yuan a month. Left and right, the cost is more expensive, and the side effects are strong. Many patients can't survive for three to six months, so how can they resist?
Dongyang Pharmaceutical spokesman Zhang Zhimeng said that the price increase of Saide capsules reflects the research and development costs and is a reasonable price. Officials from the Department of Health and the National Health Insurance Bureau stated that whether price gouging or monopoly is involved, the Fair Trade Commission must be asked to investigate. The fair association means that if individual companies adjust their prices to reflect costs, the fair association cannot interfere.
Stealing the Poor and Helping the Rich, the Superintendent and Protection League questioned the profiteering
Teng Xihua, spokesperson of the National Health Insurance Supervision Alliance, questioned, "If there is a profit of 70 yuan, isn't 500 yuan a huge profit?" She criticized that such an unreasonable and large price increase is simply exploiting the weak, robbing the poor and helping the rich. Can the factory do this? Does the pharmaceutical factory have no social responsibility?" Zhang Zhimeng responded that as long as the patient can provide a low-income household certificate, Dongyang will provide Saide capsules free of charge. (It's really shameless.)
Zhang Zhimeng said that Dongyang will increase the price of Saide capsules sold to the hospital to 408 yuan per capsule starting in September. How much is the original price? But he said, "I don't know." (It's really shameless.)
Zhang Zhimeng also said that Saide is currently in the process of applying for health insurance price verification and has a great chance of being approved. However, Huang Zhaoming, deputy director of the medicinal materials group of the National Health Insurance Bureau, said that the National Health Insurance Bureau has just approved the drug price, but Dongyang is unwilling to accept it, and it cannot be included in the health insurance payment.
Evil western medicine factory
Taiwan's health insurance law is a wrong and evil law. It must be deleted, otherwise the people of Taiwan will fall into a situation where Western medicine is poisonous because of this evil law. Protecting the interests of western medicine factories does not benefit the people at all. I hope that the legislators can see this clearly and help the people solve this serious problem.
The life-saving medicine for liver cancer is really nonsense, completely groundless, and there is absolutely no evidence to prove that it is effective. On the contrary, there is a lot of evidence to prove the harm of this drug.
