But isnt this just kind of a negotiation price? In reality insurance companies will negotiate and make deals with lower prices, and people will still be covered for the same insurance cost, right?

Pfizer conducts research in various areas, including MS therapy. That costs a lot of money.

But I can't complain anyway, here in Germany you can get Paxlovid free of charge because it's prescribed by a doctor.
