there's news coming out on gilead gilead science is out with pricing news involving remdesivir antiviralment. meg tirrell joins us with more good morning, meg. >> reporter: remember that gilead had agreed to donate remdesivir through june. the logistic call course of treatment. the united states work the share system, it is impossible they need to do things differently they need to be guided by that principal. as the world continues to reopen the social economic impact, we believe pricing remdesivir below value is the right and responsible thing to do. the fact that they are pricing it differently in the u.s. and other developed countries probably going to raise some eyebrows back over to you >> meg, i'm trying to figure out whether dexamethasone is a competing drug and whether that had any influence on where this is priced, going to be used in different settings is it used at the same time? dexamethasone seemed like it had better actual efficacy but i don't know if there's been comparative studies done are both being used on the sickest patients >> that's a really great question, joe. i

they want to get into the gilead sciences and googles of the world to steal that research.at right? >> maria, it's a scandal to me that we have trained so many of the chinese communist party's brightest minds to go back to china, to compete for our jobs, to take our business and ultimately to steal our property and design weapons and other devices that can be used against the american people. so i think we need to take a very hard look at the visas that we give to chinese nationals to come to the united states to study, especially at the post graduate level in advanced scientific and technological fields. if chinese students want to come here and study shakespeare and the federalist papers, that's what they need to learn from america. they don't need to learn quantum computing and artificial intelligence from america. maria: this as president trump last night signed an executive order expanding current immigration restrictions on certain visas, they include the h1b and h2b visas related to guest worker programs as well as some j and l visas that relate to education exchange

let me ask about gil yesterday -- gilead sciences, remdesivir, announcing a pricing plan.ll cost a typical patient $3,120. this is an expensive drug. the drug maker plans to begin charging for the drug next month. what's your take on the expense? i don't think anybody realized going into this that once we do have drugs to treat covid that they were going to be this expensive. >> we secured the donation of over 140,000 treatment courses in may and june and we've worked with states to get that distributed where it's needed most and now gi lead is launch the product in the commercial marketplace. president trump secured the commitment of half a million courses of remdesivir for the united states over the next three months. that will be distributed per anil location that we will do to the states and the states will get it to the hospitals where it's needed most. in terms of pricing, one clarification, maria. the patient is very unlikely to bear the cost of this, given that this is an inpatient drug. you're in the hospital. the hospital is getting a payment for your inpatient v

giving visas to chinese students who want to study advanced sciences, they want to get into the gilead sciencesf the world to steal the research, is that right? >> yeah, maria, it's a scandal to me that we have trained so many of the chinese party's brightest minds to go back to china to compete for our jobs, to take our business and ultimately to steal our property and design weapons and other devices that can be used against the american people. so i think we need to take a very hard look at the visas that we give the chinese nationals that come to the united states to study especially at the post graduate levels and technological fields. maria: joining me right now fox news contributor, author of american future newt gringrich. thank you very much for joining us. >> always great to be with you, maria. and then by the way this is a very big topic -- maria: yes, go ahead. >> no, i was just going to say i think you're onto something very big. it has direct political consequence because, of course, university of pennsylvania once joe biden went there had huge increase in the total amount of mone

. >>> i've got news for you from gilead sciences. they make the virus treatment remdesivir. they have just announced that one vial of the drug will cost $390. with a five-day treatment which requires six vials in total, the overall cost would be over $2,000 for remdesivir treatment. doc siegel is with us. seems like a lot of money to me. >> here's what you didn't say. by the way, it's $3200 but what you didn't say yet is that health and human services has bought up the whole supply yesterday. they announced it this morning from gilead, 500,000 doses. dose courses. 500,000 courses, they will have by september. for everyone in the united states that's going to need this drug easily. and you know what, medicare is going to cover it and private insurors will cover it, too. medicare covers intravenous medications like this anyway. so the supply will be handled by hhs, it will be distributed and it will be covered by insurance. stuart: let's be clear. this is a treatment, supposedly successful treatment when you've got the virus, this treats it. correct, doctor? >> correct. it dec

. >>> gilead, gilead sciences, they say that remdesivir, their treatment for the virus, will cost overn awful lot of money to me. let's see what indiana senator mike braun says about that. you've got a lot of experience in health care. over $3,000 for a treatment of the virus seems like a lot of money to me, senator. >> sadly, stu, for the price of some drugs, that's a simple molecule drug, wait until you get into the biologics. humera is one of the more expensive ones. they advertise it for as little as $5 a month on tv. it costs, give or take, in the range of $75,000 per year. i think it's the most used drug across the spectrum. good news is at least we got something that may work as a therapeutic. sadly, i think that drug's been around for awhile and you would think by now it would be at the generic stage. so when you get a generic on something like that, it can be anywhere from 10% to 20% less down to as much as 70%, 80%, 90% less. that's the problem with health care in general. no transparency. the whole operation kind of runs behind the scenes. this will be a good indicator to se
