I’d grab Nissen with a pair of vise-grips you know where?
Hmmm? Not buying it. So, in order to duplicate the process Amarin in producing Vascepa and it's packaging. Any Chinese Generic would have to spend extra Yuan. Plus have facilities in place approved by the Chinese Health Administration.
Plus, don't forget that China has plenty of millionaires and growing; More than enough to be selective on which products they can afford.
"The U.S still has plenty of wealthy folks, however, with more than 22.7 million individuals worth at least US$1 million as of the end of 2022, which is far more than any other country. China ranked second with about 6.2 million individuals, and France was third with 2.8 million."
Caddie; You should be aware that there are those whose glass is “half full” and those whose glass is “half empty.”
Captain; well written letter, bravo. I don’t know if you caught a slight grammatical mistake. On the 2nd page, 3rd paragraph starting with In July 2023… you forgot to add; Tricare would “no” longer cover Vascepa.
Your correct, without seeing the original PA letter you wouldn’t know what was said in that letter? It sounds like your Physician needs to be educated as well?
Good luck with your appeal.
Wow, you’re really pulling out all the stops!!! You must be related to Adam Fartstain or Hemmorhoid Herper? Maybe even delusional Doctor Demento “Nissen?”
Ha ha, you know AZ is getting flooded with Rams fans exiting California.
Yesterday’s game with Atlanta, I couldn’t tell if it was a home game or not? There were so many Atlanta Falcons fans, whenever they scored the stadium was so loud.
Open mouth insert foot twice in one day. AZ Cardinals won they’re 2nd game of the season (2-8). We’re sharing the cellar with the Giants and Panthers. Murray is back. Prater won the game with 4 field goals…
Fantastic.... open mouth, insert foot.... :D)
Thanks N7, some light reading before bedtime. :D)
Interesting, I do volunteer tutoring of 3rd graders at my local library. I know the schools test the kids on the number of words the kids can "correctly" pronounce in one minute among other things. So, the teachers assess the children's Accelerated Reading AR scores accordingly. For 3rd graders an AR score of 3.0 means the student is 3rd grade equivalency. Some of the children we get for tutoring have atrocious AR scores. We usually see AR scores of 1.0 - 2.0 , some much lower. Some children we see can't read at all. It's unfortunately a product of our local culture and parental apathy.
Heck, I'm not sure if I could pass this Cognitive Examination? :D)
Wonder what "flavor" Amarin is in Pfizers mind? Butterscotch or Earwax (Harry Potter)?
Lizzy, don't hold your breath on a PR tomorrow. Amarin has failed in it's consistent production of PRs following important news or study results.
Not trying to be a curmudgeon here, just the facts ma'am. I will be pleasantly surprised if there is any mention of this at all.
No problem N7, enjoy your Sunday.
Captain; I’ll send a message to my Nurse RN and see what she had to submit to insurance.
If I’m not mistaken, I think it’s all about the physician giving a crap and going to bat for you.
Particularly, if you’re Total Cholesterol is above 150mg/dl and you have a history of heart disease or one of the other CVD indications.
I also think age is a factor. I may be wrong?
Anyway, as soon as I find out, you’ll know.
Thanks for your service and all you do for the Board.
Thanks N7; IMHO, the University of Wisconsin (VA study) was very succinct in its Exclusion criteria. University of Texas came in 2nd.
The VA study also includes an exclusion from having previous Lumbar puncture (spinal tap). The other studies didn’t mention this or perhaps aren’t conducting spinal taps as a study endpoint.
Very encouraging indeed, of the 6 studies none except the VA study mentioned anything about spinal taps? I could be wrong? All tests included cognitive function tests. This could be very subjective as people test differently at different times. I’d like more information on the types of cognitive function tests people are going to receive.
CSR = Customer Service Representative I’m assuming? Yes, sometimes there’s good dealerships with good people working there.
Unlike Danny Devito (Matilda). :D)
Well, some good news for a change. I thought I was going to have to pay $3200 for an extended warranty on my Ford. Back in December 2020, I was still pretty flush $$ cash wise.
Long story I’ll tell it later.
Come to find out, when I bought my truck (paid cash) I’d purchased a 10yr/ 100k mile warranty. I’d forgotten all about it as I thought I only got a 3yr/36k miles warranty.
I’m just about ready to do the deal 6 yr/ 72k miles. So I call my dealer and get the ball rolling. We hang up and the dealer was going to work up a contract so he’d call me back.
Dealer calls 20 minutes later and tells me the good news. I purchased a 10 year warranty. Awesome news.
Someday we’ll have good news with Amarin. Too many good things about Vascepa to ignore it for much longer.
Thanks Cap;
(OT) question for you; did ever resolve your issue with the IRS? Something about money they owe you? Interest bearing of course…
On the flip side the AZ Cardinals (1-8) so far have the worst record in the NFL. Nobody gives a rip, except the season ticket holders. People in AZ will probably root for their favorite teams anyway. AZ is a big transplant state. Detroit Lions haven't faded yet, what's up with that? :D)
Thanks Ramfan, Yes for being a team of no names they gave it a good go. I feel Happy for Texas Ranger Fans though. First World Series Championship.
TV ratings be dammed. Some medias reported that Monday Night Football during the week of the World Series drew a bigger audience. I just don't know, Americas pastime is becoming second to football. Mexico, Japan, Cuba, Dominican Republic etc. Baseball is still their number 1 sport, although soccer is catching up.
Baseball's season is quite long however. Starting in March (spring training) and going into November. Baseball gets a little long in the tooth. In a little over 3 months from now Spring Training begins again.
sts; Have you looked into Humana's Medicare Advantage Plan? I have Humana and they cover a 90 script for $90 co-pay.
Thanks lizzy, seems as though money was well spent as Vascepa revenues increased 3 month (43.7%) and 9 month (45.2%).
Encouraging to see Pfizer is still in the picture with the amended promotional services agreement.
Since Pfizer is staying with Vascepa that is definitely a good sign. It's really only a matter of time and better economic conditions.
Interesting side note: Novartis AG developed Clorazil, it's sales slightly dropped, so the improvement in HLS revenues came from Vascepa sales....very encouraging indeed.
Bouf; hope you don’t mind but are you retired or still working? If you’re retired you should shop around for an insurer that covers Vascepa brand. If you’re still working then perhaps you could get a supplemental plan?
Kiwi, opinions are like sphincter’s everyone has one, even your lopsided opinion.
So, how many AZ drugs have been approved by the FDA? Any guesses?
I just got around to eating my fortune cookie from lunch. The fortune read; “Today is probably a huge improvement over yesterday.”
Now, there’s a kernel of truth!!!
Except for 9/24/18 up until the “Dusaster” sounds like you’re one of the many who held on thinking Vascepa was going to make us all rich?
Tread carefully bidmark, let’s not let the truth be told? The moderators might be upset?
Dia de los Muertos mi amigo… :D)
I’d rather have a Treat, like the Diamondbacks win Game 4 of the World Series…
Okay thanks
Only 3 years experience with Vascepa? And here we all thought you were an expert?
I disagree with #3 and #4;
"V doesn't change or fix anything?" Really?
My Primary Care medical person is a Registered Nurse (thank God!) Someone with a little common sense who's been trained very well by a local Cardiologist I might add who's an advocate of Vascepa use. And no, I don't have a cardiologist. My Nurse makes all the calls.
Between the two of you, can you total one brain cell?
Wow, been trading stocks long? Nasdaq is down over 300 points. Really, who's fault is that? Only one place to look really.
Some people just don't get it; https://www.si.com/mlb/2023/10/24/chris-russo-mad-dog-retirement-threat-diamondbacks-phillies-fan-support
Like the cry baby Yankees or Red Sox fans. If they're not winning championships they're not happy campers.
What? No rioting in the City of Brotherly Love?
I’ll say; A flashback to the “Miracle Mets.”
The Young Diamondbacks team took the series over a very good team seasoned “Phillies Team.”
"The will to win."
What it inspires in young ball players is priceless. It is also very good for Baseball to witness a “Cinderella” squad to get to the Big Show.
These “No name” players (Longoria the exception) has restored the idea of what can happen when youthful enthusiasm overcomes years of experience.
The kind of baseball clinic the Diamondbacks are putting on reminds me of the L.A. Dodger’s during the Koufax, Drysdale era. Maury Wills, Willie Davis. For those of you who remember them.
They call it “Small ball.” A walk is as good as a run. The speed of the young player outweighs the long ball of the slugger. Corbin Carroll stole 2nd base twice, putting him in a position to score. The Psychological effect this has on the opposing team is a real weapon that hasn't been seen in years.
It’s Fantastic what we are witnessing. It’s so very good for Baseball. "Very inspirational."
Dang, wrong twice in 2 weeks. thanks
How bout those Diamondbacks!!! One last game today to determine who goes to the Big Dance. Congratulations to the Texas Rangers, they deserve to win, they’ve never been to the World Series.
Here's a simple question: Ask the Company if we should sell our investment in Amarin? Funny, I already know their response; (Company) "We cannot give investment advice, the choice is yours whether to sell or hold."
Darn; Dusty Street (Sirius Radio) passed away last night at 77. I’m essentially living on borrowed time. Come on Denner… :D)
My boys came from behind and take game 4 from the Phillies 6-5. Series is even 2-2. Wow
Looks like an upward trend line to me. Thanks Capt.
