A lot of research is financed by public grants. Also a large part of price is caused by the expensive legal requirments. It is strange that the same people who feel sorry for the companies which could suffer losses if prices are not controlled, do not feel sorry for people who invested years of their life and tens of thousands of their in education money to see their jobs sent abroad. Free market should work both ways.

They do. You are implying that you want drug price controls which would not be a free market.

Free market principles working both ways?

You might be on some of the illegal types of drugs to say something like that.

While I don't know specifically a whole lot about the drug industry, I have a stake in international trade. Enough to know you gotta be high on something...

While I can't speak for A.Pole, sounds like he is not saying we should have price controls, but rather the other side shouldn't.
