Mark Cuban tar sig an amerikansk apoteksmarknad

Miljardären och ”Shark tank”-profilen har tagit sig an den amerikanska apoteksmarknaden med sitt nya bolag Cost Plus Drugs, skriver Business Insider.

Affärsmodellen är enkel: Att köpa generiska läkemedel från producenter och sälja det direkt till slutkund med 15 procents prispåslag. Skillnaden mellan varumärkesskyddade läkemedel och generiska läkemedel med samma innehåll kan vara hundratals dollar, ibland tusentals dollar.

– När kostnaderna blir transparenta blir marknaden effektiv. Och då kommer priserna falla markant, säger Cuban till Business Insider.
