It saves pharma consumers money between now and when US healthcare is “fixed” (whatever that looks like), which could still take a long time. As the starfish parable goes, it matters to these people. I encourage you to recognize that reduction in suffering and economic hardship in the short term.

Yeah, I really disagree with the person above you, @treis. This saves people money. It's not stealing from them, it's saving them money. This is a valuable and good thing. This gives attention to the fact that they can pay much less.

The people doing valuable work are Truepill that's actually doing the heavy lifting of fulfillment. Cuban is slapping his name on a white label solution, taking 15% for his trouble, and acting like he's solving the US health care system. In reality, he's just another middleman inflating prices.
