> chances are the actual one mililiter of fluid costs them a marginal $20 or so to make. quoting production prices when discussing duds is as silly as talking about IP when discussing grocery store item costs. “Bananas at 1$!? They probably didn’t even need to spend any money on inventing it” When you pay for a drug, your not paying for production, transport or marketing, you’re paying for the 20 years of research that went into bringing it from a random idea of “this might work” to a product on the market, and for the 200 other drugs the company tried unsuccessfully to bring to market along side it. Now I’m not saying this justifies the prices of all drugs, but it’s silly to discuss pricing while acting like the absolutely largest factor doesn’t even matter.
