Vincent Rajkumar: My year end endorsements
Vincent Rajkumar, Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, shared a post on X/Twitter:
“My year end endorsements.
1) Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company.
— where you can get >2000 prescription meds at lower price than almost any other pharmacy in America. Has revolutionized the generic prescription drug market.
2) Pay Or Die Film.
— the story of lives lost due to the high price of insulin in America. Likely contributed to why all 3 big insulin manufacturers have now cut the price of insulin by >70-80%.
For 2024, the out of pocket max for Part D drugs that a patient pays in copays is capped to a max of ~$3250. A huge relief to many. This cap goes down further to $2000 in 2025.
7) International Myeloma Foundation.
New CEO Yelak Biru will take the IMF to the next level to help patients. I’m looking forward to working with the IMF more in the next year.”
