I would like to discuss this claim that it takes a lot of money to bring a drug to market, and this is why drugs are currently so expensive.

I personally am grateful for your research in this comment(+1)- I regret that I don't have the time to have a proper discussion right now. Perhaps someone else could pick it up.
- ctoth 14y agoSorry -- I used your comment as a jumping-off point for this research rather than making my comment a complete reply to yours! I was more talking about the thread in general, where the point is made a few times. For instance, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5472735 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5472735 Once again my apologies if I seemed to put any words in your mouth. I was looking for the right entrypoint to the thread and must not have selected the perfect one.
- dhimes 14y agoNo worries. Looks like your plan worked pretty well.
