All of the drugs on this list seem to treat some pretty nasty conditions. I wonder what the payback time for the research is and the target market looks like for each one. I also wonder what the landscape of medicine will look like when generic versions of these become available. How many awesome treatments are out there but uncovered by insurance and thus, out of reach for all but the most rich individuals.
