THE MARK CUBAN COST PLUS DRUG COMPANY
T
he Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company aims to fundamentally change the way the pharmaceutical industry operates. As a publicbenefit corporation, its social mission of improving public health is just as important as the bottom line. The company transparently charges a standard markup on every drug it sells. With the launch of its online pharmacy’s first inventory of 100 affordable generic drugs in January 2022, establishment as a vertically integrated pharmacy benefits manager, and construction of a state-of-the-art pharmaceutical factory in Dallas slated for completion by the end of 2022, the company is well on its way to making medication affordable for all.
