A billionaire with a heart instead of an oversized ego — almost seems like an oxymoron.God bless you, Mark Cuban!

[wiiiiiii]

Thank you mark for
Helping the senior citizens

Wow a billionaire is going to be the only person selling prescriptions online. I don't see how that could possibly go wrong

[IEHD]

How am I just learning about this? This is incredible.

He is from Pittsburgh, so of course he is a great guy with integrity.

As an office designer, when Mark said "Put the money where it impacts" feels very ironic. Because interiors (access to natural lighting, healthy materials, acoustics, and color) play a huge impact on mood and productivity in the workplace. There's actually a lot of research done about this very topic too. Just food for thought!!

That is awesome to see a billionaire do something that really matters

[blankstare]

The less they cost the more they make…

Mark is perhaps one of the few billionaires who understands that one of the ingredients to his success (in addition to hard work and grit) was a bit of luck. He was always going to be a millionaire, but being alive in the age of the internet helped propel him to the three comma club. When Shaq mentioned how lucky he was to strike gold in the Internet age, Mark clapped back that "oh yeah, and you meant to be 7'2" and athletic." There's a bit of luck in all of our successes and failures. It's not the only thing, but it does exist.

This is SO much better than that stupid “Giving Pledge”!

Not all billionaires are equal. Elon should take a lesson from this dude and Bill Gates.

The American Medical System is for profit though.

Some billionaires try to do something good for the society. Others want to change the society to make more billions or wants to impose their ideology. Just look at the madness at Twitter.

[savagebear]

As much as I don't like billionaires, at least he's trying to help.

[elijohnson]

How much does he charge his insulin? In japan its less than 300

[DebraStreit]

I need help my insurance company will not approve my medication I have been without since Sept of 2023 severely broke out in pain and no help inside

Fantastic idea. The price of drugs and hospital/doctors visits is outrageous in the US. I hope others join Mr. Cuban in this endeavour.
