Drug company profit is fair, but they spend more on marketing salaries, advertising, and executive bonuses than they spend on research. And how about a drug company that latches on to a drug that has been in use for various autoimmune diseases in Europe for decades and is in the public domain, tries it on a different autoimmune disease, gets a patent and exclusivity for years, and then sells $100 dollars worth for over $70,000 per year? And there is NO competition because all the drug companies sell their drugs for that disease for about $70,000 per year (coincidentally)!
That's the drug I take for my MS. Insurance companies and now Medicare pay for most of it. My share is still over $6000 per year, but that company is using it to siphon huge amounts of money out of health insurance and Medicare, which affects us all.
