What this video doesn't explain is _why_ Zolgensma is so prohibitively expensive. Is it purely because of greed? Or is there some exceedingly time and/or resource-intensive process for creating the drug? A drug that, you know, is the difference between a baby-sized grave and somebody leading a long and fulfilling life.

​@@JohnGardnerAlhadis There are other very expensive gene therapy drugs for rare conditions. The cost is mostly upfront, in the research project to understand the genetic pathway of the disease and then create and test a therapy that treats it. The rarer the disease, the more money they need to make per dose to recoup their costs. And single-dose cures are more expensive than ongoing treatments. (Trikafta, not technically a gene therapy drug though still a precision-engineered one, halts the progress of cystic fibrosis for $300K a year.) This makes it hard to figure out what a fair price actually is. Probably pretty high, but that doesn't mean they aren't still price-gouging patients. Sometimes they'll provide it free to uninsured patients, since they aren't losing any money from that.

All pharmaceutical companies disagree

@@ferrusmanus184 Well, the company either charges enough to make up for their costs, or the medicine doesn't get made, so...

Gotta pay for research. Who told you kids are priceless? They are expensive! At best they are an investmemt. I'd say... The cheapest kid is at least as expensive as the costs to give birth to it. So if you feed the mother just milk and potatoes, with some foraged plants for other vitamins you could get it down to about 50k to produce one. Probably earliest before you can put them to work is six. Have them help you making shoes or soccer balls. Maybe an Asian rice farm. Only then can you start making your money back. Only by six are they start becoming worth something.

Nuclear regulated grandma

As a geologist, it wouldn’t surprise me; every rock becomes a doorstop eventually. The story at my undergrad was that one time a prof tested a doorstop that had been there forever and found that it was the (then) oldest rock ever dated.

Nowhere near the same level, but at a lab I worked at the boss had a silver ingot he used as a door stop.

I read a history of Hanford. I was most amazed by the fact that they invested this enormous amount of money and built a city without being sure the whole project was going to work.

Just like a couple decades later with the Apollo program, even though we didn't know if we could make it work at first, we HAD to make it work before the other guys did.

Gold has been used for an analogue in numerous different types of experiments in the nuclear weapons sector over the years. The cool part is in most cases the labs don't have to pay for what they use. They can literally borrow the gold from the US gold reserve. Obviously very careful accounting is followed to ensure the same amount withdrawn is returned, but as long as it comes back borrowing the odd ton of gold is reasonably simple within the DOE. Incidentally, the same practice was used early in the Manhattan project when a huge number of cyclotrons were built for Uranium enrichment. Rather than use copper, obviously a very important metal in wartime, the cyclotrons were built with silver wire with the silver borrowed from the US national reserves.

And that’s why the price is higher elsewhere so company can recoup research costs

@@toodlespoodles9842 More likely the government is buying at market price and the $42 is the copay

Don't confuse what the patient pays with the cost.

@@toodlespoodles9842 no it's not, the Australian government pays the difference. Price arrangements are made with pharmaceutical companies, who apply to sell their drug in Australia, and ~ $13 billion was paid the last financial year (jul20-jun21), 26 million people. There's plenty of health and drug research funded by Australia but those costs aren't passed to the consumer. There is also legislation banning end-user advertising by drug companies so they doing have the marketing costs here.

​@@chlorineismyperfume In Switzerland too. Where Novartis is from... they will sell insulin for pennies to the insurance in Europe and ship the same insulin to America where a week's worth can be 100$. And the medication isn't even expensive. It's mass produced by ton. Lots of European and Asian pharma companies sell to America for much more than anyone else. Sometimes order of magnitude. Part of my healthcare research is funded by Americans being ripped off and billed thousands for a few pills or an injection.

Well, the difference is that Aluminum was never rare as an element, it was just always alloyed or bonded with other elements and was difficult to purify. Many of these other substances are just flat-out rare, which is a different issue, and one much less likely to be solved.

Gotta make shareholders profits.

@@bmstylee it costs billions of dollars to bring a drug to market - and that is those that actually make it all the way to approval. so many never make it that far, so they lose billions on all the research and development and time lost on those that never go to market. i do think that meds are overcharged, but there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that nobody takes into account either.

I have no issues with making a profit. But what some of those companies charge for meds is outrageous. I guess you guys are happy knowing they make billions in profit while many people have to choose between having meds or putting food on the table.

@@bmstylee literally never said that. i said that med costs are ridiculous, especially for established meds outside of their patent (e.g. epipens). but yes. with the new wave of cell and gene therapies that are either tailored to the individual patient (sometimes even using their own blood) or are for conditions so rare, companies will never really recoup costs or if they do it will take decades. however, these orphan drugs are needed for those with rare disorders or they’ll just keep on ignoring them since there’s no profit to be made there. that’s why they need to profit elsewhere, to make those other treatments possible.

Is that American prices or Rest of the World prices?

@@UnicornsPoopRainbows I believe it's expensive everywhere, due to 1 manufacturer and what it does. Here's the thing there's a shit load of misconceptions about American medicine and it's cost m, that are just untrue. Same goes for American prices. If you need it you get it ... no matter your ability to pay or not. Its unethical, and actually illegal to with hold life saving treatment because of I ability to pay. You can show up at out ER doors, homeless and destitute. If you need to be taken care of, needing surgery or in this case theombolytics ... you get it. One reason US Healthcare is expensive, people don't use their primary care Dr's ans wait until its too late, and head to the ER ... which is always going to cost more. Prices for aspirin will be high, because the hospital has added 2 more Cat Scanners at 1 million a pop, in order to get as many patients life saving diagnostics in a timely fashion. If you have 2 different patients who are having a stroke ... and time is of the essence as you has a short window to give thrombolytics. If you already have 1 in the CT scanner, the 2nd had to wait. If you have 2 scanners, now both can get scanned quickly. If you have 3 now you can get the guy in the car accident in as well. So those prices are paying for the equipment, the techs, nurses and the Dr's The Electric to run the machines, the malpractice insurance that covers the hospital and all the employees in it. Except usually the Dr's who carry their own. As they're contractors to the hospital, not employees of it. Neurosurgeons can pay 1 million a year in malpractice. OB-Gyns malpractice pract. Is expensive as hell too. Bottom line, you walk in. You need treatment you get it. No one is refusing your care of you can't pay. Hospital also have to do a percentage of indigent care a yr to keep the ability to get Medicare Medicaid dollars. My hospital in was well over 250 million a year in free Healthcare. No one will take your house, garnish wages nothing. You can set up a payment for $5/mo. There are programs, if you make less than something like 50K year or have kids that will pay the bills. There are county clinics that you can get primary dr and see any and all specialist for $20 .... people won't use them. So they go to ERs where it costs more. I talked about hospitals putting in more CT scanners. In countries with universal Healthcare. They won't add new scanners, people just wait. With a stroke... if you have to wait more than 4 hours, you can't use theomolytics. But it's free. You won't get Dr's in the US to work for what they get paid in the UK ... first foremost they're still paying down their student loans for med school. Second, they'll take their smarts and go to where the money is. That's what's happening with primary care Dr in US. There's a shortage, because they're all going into specialties. Why .... $ I can talk this all day. I've worked in both types of systems. And from seeing one run by the state ... you don't want it. I've seen 24-36 hour waits in the waiting room. Why because they had to do tge keast expensive test possible and get tge results back before moving to the next expensive test and so on They're difficult to sue if they screw up or it's capped at like 50K ... It's called Sovereign Immunity

I heard that mouse milk is expensive also. Needed for experiments.

exactly why Zolgensma is honestly the better option in the long run, at least from a cost standpoint. You'll spend more on Soliris in less than 5 years, but that one dose of Zolgensma will halt SMA-1's progression entirely.

@@alexismonetti well the fact that these two meds treat completely different diseases make the cost comparison look like apples and oranges anyways.

@@OGA103 sorry i thought you were referring to the other treatment there is for SMA-1, i was thinking of Spinraza. Spinraza costs between $625,000 and $750,000 for the first year of treatment and then $375,000 a year for the rest of the patient's life.

@@alexismonetti yiiikes.

Zolgensma cures a very rare disease so it makes sense to be expensive with the low number of dossis sold and the required research. Insulin is quite cheap to produce, the costs of its research and development are already paid in full many times over. It's the combination of an inefficient healthcare system and crooked morals by big pharma what makes it so expensive. So yeah, not really the same.

Looking at the UK guidelines briefly it seems to be broadly similar to normal explosives. The material e.g high explosives doesn't seem to be the problem, its more that you are storing it safely, that its not a risk to others, and that the fire services know exactly where it is. But obviously they aren't going to give a licence to a terrorist, but a terrorist probably wouldn't be stupid enough to apply for one either!

@@engineeringvision9507 I don’t know iv heard about a LOT of dumb criminals/terrorists.

Americium

What exactly do you mean by there not being any money in it? For what reason? If because the power would be too cheap, then that's the same kind of nonsense as claims that pharma doesn't want to cure anything because that would eliminate the market.

Apparently the sentiment is more apathy, dealing with activists / protests and realising the misinformation about radiation is embedded in many populations means they've struggled to get public, and therefore government support. Def in Australia anyway, which is a shame.

Probably doesn't cost much to make; that's irrelevant. How much was spent on developing it - that's where the cost is. It's not like a regular Joe stumbled across it by accident. Scientists aren't cheap!

@@dennishilmas3423 yep, and of course that's the problem with such medicines. Firstly this is an incredibly rare disease, a couple of thousand patients a year globally. The drug would have cost hundreds of millions to develop. Unlike, say, a flu vaccine, which will be sold in hundreds of millions of doses, this drug will be sold in its tens of doses. Now I am not one for forgiving drugs companies, some of their practices are disgusting, but the reality is that such drugs need money to develop them and in order to raise the money a return on the investment is needed. It would help the drug company 's causes if they were transparent on their profit margins. The answer to funding these doses is in the funding of treatment. Models to raise the funds to treat sick children are where the focus needs to be and Novartis say, subsidising the cost of such funded doses rather than a 'lottery 'would be more egalitarian and also fairer.

@@dennishilmas3423 So I assume that when the costs have been covered, the price will plummet drastically?

Biochemists, doctors and even the lawyers making all the paperwork to get the drug approved cost money.

So maybe it's the job of the government to regulate health care costs and working towards paying for such treatments forcing lower prices.
