I believe healthcare is the biggest weakness of USA. Not just medicine even services are unbelievably expensive. Ambulance, Emergency room even simple tests which cost literally 4-5 dollars get billed @ 100$ to consumers.

Stanley Nowak says:

The short answer is NO.

OneLegFlamingo1 says:

How in the world does taking a percentage of a rebate increase a drug's price by 400%? I have yet to see an explanation for the price differences that makes any kind of sense.

Jumbomuffin 13 says:

Pharma lobbyists won’t let it succeed

pat noonan says:

My one cholesterol drug is $425 at my local pharmacy I pay $ 35 at mark Cuban's store I pay $ 5.80 cents

Francisco Raposo says:

I save over $300 a month using Mark's website.

nisar mirza says:

Mark, you are the MESSIAH, the SAVIOR of a common man in this Country.

Hobbies says:

Absence of regulations that rein in prices, and presence of regulations that prevent competition is the problem. The public keeps arguing socialism or free-market capitalism, while the crooked selectively implement both the systems to rake in all the money.

George J Gillin Jr says:

CAN NOT BE BEAT. THANK YOU MARK FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND HELP. I AM SAVING OVER 56% on my cholesterol 90 day supply and its the same pill. Makes me wonder why when WB, JB & BG. could not do this when they said they would try. Maybe a little to much greed? Go to his website you do not have to sign up to see the prices.
