The price of Gleevec each year is between $80,000 and $100,000. Other countries have a generic form; however the United States does not. Novartis owes it to their patients to allow a generic form to save the consumer thousands. They have already made billions off of this drug.
As a CML patient, I know the stress that is caused by the prices and struggling with insurance companies regarding the co-pay.
It's time for a change, please sign if you agree and I'll submit this to them.
Novartis is finally feeling the heat because of this movement. The suits at the top might be used to ignoring patients but they cannot ignore thousands of us demanding affordable medication.

Ridiculous. My husband has been on this since 2011 and we are drowning in debt because of it. We need the generic option now.
