  3. AI? Nailed it!!!

    In an interview with WIRED (Sept 2024), when asked about how he is thinking about AI, Mark Cuban responded (paraphrasing here) - that he would trust a seeing eye dog rather than a self-driving car to navigate 3 city blocks.

    Why? "Because a dog can sense issues." AND "Because wisdom doesn’t come with text." Boom!

  4. GoodRx and #PharmacyBenefitManagers (#PBM’s) Being Sued in Class Action case for price-fixing 😬

    I’ve been shifting a lot of my inquiries on medication pricing to #MarkCuban's #CostPlusDrugs online pharmacy. In many cases, their prices are lower or similar to patient's co-pay and typically much less than the prices listed in #GoodRx.

    My patients are usually flabbergasted when they see these Cuban's prices. I tell them it always pays to shop around!

    PS: This also goes for diagnostic studies (#hospitals usually charge 3-6 times more than most outpatient facilities.)

  5. True story: Patient came in this week stating that she could not afford #Abaugio (generic) due to copay, related to change in insurance status. I looked up the medication in GoodRx and saw that it was about $2,200 per month! On a lark, I decided to look it up on #MarkCuban’s site, #CostPlusDrugs. Would you believe it was available for $12 per month!

    Not a misprint - $2,200 vs $12!

    This is criminal!

    Bottom line: Check both #GoodRx and #CostPlus when checking for generic pricing!
