It’s easy to say “bring the price of drugs down” without knowing what it costs pharmaceutical companies to bring a product to market.

Costs about $2-3 billion to bring a new drug to market.

Newer drugs work on fewer people but Congress doesn’t allow the investment to be recouped. There are already fewer new drugs and many healthcare companies like Bayer, have sold off their drug divisions.

Maybe if thyroid, cholesterol and other drug users didn’t have to subsidize AIDS drugs....
