Interesting question about Lupron

Hi Everyone, Angie asked me to forward this to all the forums. It sounds like a great story. Lets help her out. Best Wishes,

. I am once again asking for your help. There's an issue that I have a reporter interested in for Businessweek. It could get alot of exposure for endo. The issue is that TAP is charging men with testicular cancer 1/4 the price they charge women for endo for the same drug -- Lupron. Now, I'm no lupron fan, but it could open the door for a story on endo. The problem is this. The reporter cannot get TAP (pharmacueticals) to give up the real pricing for men/women. Do you know ANY women who have to take Lupron and if they have insurance claims with the price/dose on the claim???? If so, we can forward copies to this reporter to dispute the companies claims (lie) that they charge the same for men and women. It's not true. They charge 4 times more for women for 1/2 the dosage that men get. DISCRIMINATION against women with endo once again. Please share this with all the endo groups. Love Angie
