In his letter to state Medicaid directors, Weinstein wrote, “Gilead is charging a higher price for this drug even though the cost to produce it is small. According to industry reports, Gilead produces Sovaldi for approximately $1.00 per gram (with only 10 to 30 grams needed to successfully treat patients with Hepatitis C).1 This represents a retail markup of over 279,000%. (NOTE: With only 10 to 30 grams of Sovaldi needed for successful treatment, the difference from the $30 production cost for Gilead’s full course of treatment—30 grams x $1.00 per gram—to $84,000 for the 12-week treatment program represents a retail markup of 279,000%.)

“is a patented drug. And patents exist because the government permits
firms to make original discoveries and get a temporary monopoly on
them,” Pauly notes. “The general idea is to allow companies to charge
monopoly prices for a period of time to motivate innovation. That’s what
Gilead is doing — they’re charging the monopoly price that is
presumably based on what they think the market is willing to pay for their product.” ...
