Who here thinks drug companies (pharmaceuticals) are altruistic...

59. Thank you, but...

didn't you read this part:

(I know it cost more than that, but please, just hear me out)

In your example, my 3$ drug would cost $3,000.

Do you honestly think that's reasonable? If your figures are right, and I assume they are, then that would be a reasonable price, but what if they charged $6,000 instead. I think that would be gouging.

If it's for a really rare disease, the price would probably be a hell of a lot more than $3,000 anyway.

It's probably why drug companies don't spend much time or money on developing drugs for really rare diseases.

But I'm sure some do.

Anyway, 1 billion dollars is a nice figure, but what does that break down to?

That's where I'm having my problems, and thank you again.
