And also, many drugs are available as far cheaper generics instead of paying a premium for a 'famous' brand of the drug. For instance, I paid recently $8.45 for 30 atorvastatin 40mg tablets. Ten years ago 30 tablets of the 'Lipitor' brand of these would have cost around $70 before price-competition from generic drug companies. What is really laughable is when the parent company with the patent on a drug keeps the 'famous' brand at high cost, and brings out their own 'generic' brand (exactly the same formulation) at a much lower cost. Games drug companies can play!!
