The markup on drugs is phenomenal. Sensing a new business opportunity, RiskManagers has entered the pharmaceutical business as a self-declared Tylenol wholesale distributor serving hospitals across the Fruited Plains.
“We can source a bottle of Tylenol, 625 mg, for only $14.73” said an unnamed company official during the company’s ribbon cutting ceremony. “We wholesale to hospitals at $54.73 a bottle and recommend a retail value of $1,575.” he continued.
When a reporter asked if that was price gouging at its worst he answered “Not at all. Its in line with American health care pricing methodologies. Hospitals support this big time. If you don’t believe me I invite you to download one of our client’s hospital pricing sheet (see below). Hospitals take our suggested retail price all the time.”
Company officials expect to be driving new cadillacs by Christmas. “Sales are booming. We are helping hospitals get richer by the day” said Hector Garcia, a RiskManagers sales representative. “Life good.”
