Can Mark Cuban solve America’s healthcare spending?

The Dive | Business News

It is a surprising move for a television-star celebrity billionaire - that is, to start a Drug Company where Americans can access heavily discounted medicines. But it's what Mark Cuban has decided to do. Cuban - an early pioneer of internet streaming, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, and Shark on the TV show Shark Tank - has entered the healthcare space with a company that carries his name: Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs. Today Alec and Sascha talk about how the company is solving the problem of America's spiralling healthcare costs... a problem that no company, politician or entrepreneur has been able to solve for decades.
