This deserves a topic and it's going to help a huge number of Americans. I've known Mark since the mid 90's and look forward to connecting with him and thanking him for this remarkable project.
MARK CUBAN Launches Online Pharmacy OFFERING GENERIC DRUGS FOR CHEAP
1/22/2022 10:58 AM PT

Mark Cuban is offering the general public a way to get the healthcare they need at a truly affordable price ... and all it took was a little less corporate greed. Whodathunkit?!? The Mavs owner/entrepreneur just launched an online pharmacy that sounds too good to be true -- providing more than 100 common generic drugs ... practically at cost. In other words, the medications are significantly cheaper than most anywhere else on the marketplace.

It's called the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs Company, and it operates as a prescription drug wholesaler ... buying these meds directly from manufacturers, and doesn't gratuitously price hike upon reselling them on his site ... unlike a lot of other pharmaceutical companies. Now, Mark and co. don't wanna fool anyone -- they are turning a bit of a profit in their endeavor here ... acknowledging upfront there's a 15% markup on their drugs, plus a small pharmacist fee of $3 (and slight shipping costs too). Plus, you gotta pay for their drugs out of pocket.

Still ... it ultimately comes out to a smaller price tag than what you may pay otherwise through your insurance copay or by other means (coupons) at just about any other pill depot. Also, MC's markup isn't anywhere near the usual 100% (or oftentimes way more) gouging you'll see elsewhere on the market. An example ... imatinib -- a common leukemia treatment -- is being offered through MCCPDC for just $47/mo. ... whereas it normally retails for nearly $10k/mo.

And, get this ... Mark's price is still cheaper than the cheapest option already out there ($120/mo.), so you actually are getting the best deal. Ditto for mesalamine (an ulcerative colitis treatment) and colchicine (gout) ... among dozens and dozens of other generic drugs. Mark's business model is being as "radically transparent" as possible ... to help as many people as possible, so it's truly a humanitarian effort in spirit.

Don't worry if your medication isn't available on their site just yet either -- Mark says they're working quickly to add a lot more, and are gearing up for the opening of a plant in Dallas to help make this operation run even more smoothly. On its face ... this is pretty incredible. And, it would seem the masses mostly agree ... Cuban's done what the government (or private citizens with the means) hasn't been able to do for so long. Hats off to that!

Many prescriptions we're on are already there. We've been blessed with the ACA and the plan pays, but before that this would have been a Godsend. Hope it works out well and helps lots of people, including Fogbowzers who need the help. :bighug:

Holy chicken noodle soup!

Many of the meds are cut by 95% in cost.

This is a blessing that makes me happy tears. This will help me help my elderly mother (who does not have prescription drug coverage) save money for a trip to see her great grandchildren and feel some comfort.

So he may have bought mass quantities of all these drugs to get started, but what happens when the manufacturers learn he did so to go into direct competition with them? Will they continue to sell to him?

Of course, ol' Wifehorn and I have hundreds of clients who might be able to drastically reduce their drug costs.

Has anyone used them? Their prices are amazing, but I'm having significant problems with my order. First, it took forever for them to send me my meds. After quoting me 3-5 days, they took 9 days to ship, and it was 14 before I received them. But I only received 2 out of 3 medications. And when I tried to contact customer service, they sent me back an email saying "We’re so sorry to hear you’ve having trouble accessing your prescription or placing an order." "Sorry we can't respond personally to every email, but this is the only way we can be the low cost provider of drugs." I suppose that is a way to keep your prices low, rip people off and then don't respond to them. I'm frustrated. Now I look at their ratings, they are in the toilet at Sitejabber, Trustpilot, and even Better Business Bureau is only 1.66 stars. I'm going to go ahead and open a case with BBB, but I'm wondering if anyone has had success with CostPlusDrugs? I'm seeing similar stories to mine on Reddit, so it appears this is how they do business. Arg. I'm scrambling to get a prescription sent to CVS so I can pay through the nose for medication I already ordered and paid for two weeks ago.,
