The pharmaceutical industry is disgusting me.
Their goal is no more to cure people but to generate that maximum amount of cash for shareholders.
To chose a price point, they don't look at what research has cost, but what people, government aid and insurance are willing to pay for it and choose chose a price that max out the benefit. In developed country it becomes ridiculous.
As a note, when they have to make risky research they put the risk into a spin-off company with investors that share the risk, and this is how you end up with Gilead buying this probably co-founded research company.
