Again, I don't disagree with you. But shepherding a drug or treatment though the FDA is a mission in itself. It is expensive. The cost of goods may be relatively low once the process of production at scale is worked through, but it is hardly trivial. Notwithstanding what I've said, I genuinely find it appalling that these drugs are priced at five figures. That's just criminal. In the range of thousands (or even 10s of thousands, if it's a single shot treatment), I'd think the pricing is justified. Maybe if it's a rare disorder, charge a little more. But the travesty in the US system is that the govt., Via Medicare & Medicaid, is just not allowed to negotiate on costs. That's what the UK NICE does. The American system is insane!
