It is ludicrous that we(in the US) have to put up with prices 5 to 10X what they cost in other countries; the reasons that drug companies state for these prices are not correct; generic companies cite Rand D, and how much it costs to market drugs9they have no R and d: they do not do research or development; they take cheap generics, cost pennies to make, and charge $10 per pill); the regular companies cite the R and D(but overstate the costs; R and D would account for a mild increase in price, not the gouging we see), along with legal and marketing costs; the very high profits seen at the drug companies could be 50% lower, and they would still make huge money.
What we need is what every other Western country has; price controls on drugs. Dr. Robbins
