If the market were free drugs would be commoditized, like aspirin. The reality is: * As a pharma company you can't compete because another player is holding the patent for decades * Governments around the world will indirectly spend trillions by way of social insurance on your products, so prices will balloon because that money has to go somewhere * The barrier to entry is so high thanks to regulation This is a made-up situation of artificially low supply coupled by propped up demand.
