Standing Up For What Is Right
By
SHARx was built on the notion that everyone deserves access to the life-saving medications they need, not just a select few. To us, that seems only logical but companies like AbbVie view it as a threat to their profits and it remains obvious that their profits are their only concern. They are the corporate equivalent of a bully; using their size and their resources to intimidate brokers, members, and other companies into subservience while they reap record profits year after year.
Sticking to Our Values
This does not sit well with us at SHARx. We were built on a set of core values that propel us to help those in need. We have empathy for our members because we know that they have also struggled to access the medications that they or their families need. That unity is what drives our commitment to this shared goal. We focus on our dedication to our members and put forth effort on their behalf. We practice adaptability, consistently striving to get the job done. We have perseverance and will not be deterred. Last but not least, we maintain integrity in everything we do.
So of course, we are suing AbbVie… our core values demand it. These values insist we fight for those without a voice. We would not be the company we promise to be if we let this slide and cower in the face of the bully. We know that our members will have no one on their side if we are unwilling to fight on their behalf. We did not ask for this. We would have been content to grow our business by helping people who need us. But when AbbVie tried to bully us, they chose the wrong team. They underestimated our commitment to living our core values every single day, a commitment we held long before those values were officially established.
Fighting the Good Fight
So long as we continue to live our core values, we cannot lose. We have helped hundreds of thousands of people and their families live and live well. To me, that is the definition of winning.
I am so glad we are in this fight together. I look forward to standing up to this and any other bullies who foolishly underestimate our dedication to our members. We will not back down; we will always fight for them.
