Drugmakers to raise prices on over 250 medicines
Drugmakers will raise prices on over 250 branded medicines starting on Jan. 1.
Corey and Rick Harrison, of “Pawn Stars” fame, have entered a bit of a back-and-forth over the younger Harrison’s medical bills.
Corey “Big Hoss” Harrison, 42, recently launched a GoFundMe after a motorcycle crash in Mexico earlier this year gave him a concussion, 11 broken ribs and clear facial injuries and required multiple surgeries. He told TMZ on March 6 that he owes around $120,000 in medical bills and has just $400 in his bank account. He said his father has paid “at least half” of the bills but that he wants to pay the patriarch back, as the older Harrison “isn’t made of money.”
Corey Harrison’s fundraiser has amassed around $13,000 of his $18,000 goal.
But shortly after Harrison’s comments, Rick Harrison, 60, told TMZ that he had paid “all” of his son’s medical bills “long before he put the GoFundMe out.” He added, “It’s always nice to be paid back, but there is no repayment schedule in place.”
Corey responded to his father’s comments, telling the outlet, “If he decided I don’t have to pay him back the money, then happy birthday to me. But based on our personal and business relationship, I don’t see how that’s possible.”
He also seemed to negate any suggestion that the comments were indicative of a bigger rift. “I love my father very much, he’s always been there for me, and I don’t have a problem with him at all,” he told the outlet.
“Pawn Stars,” which airs on the History Channel, follows Corey’s father, Rick Harrison, and his family as they manage operations at their now iconic Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on Las Vegas Boulevard. Harrison has six children: three sons and three daughters: Corey, Adam, Jake, Sarina, Ciana and Marissa. Adam died in 2024 at the age of 39.
Corey and Jake starred with their father on the series, which has been on hiatus but is set to return in early 2027, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The outlet reports Corey Harrison is not set to return.
