Wouldn't this mean that a majority of patients that need this are unable to buy it? Meaning that there's less customers? Just a thought (lemmy.world)

If they sell you pay $5 for the drug and the next person in line pays $2k for the same drug, they are making $1k per patient. They are also writing off the $3k that they could be charging you as a charitable contribution, so they don't have to pay taxes on the income. They hope that if they keep you alive, some day you will make enough money to pay full retail price.
