        You do realize that most drugs fail right? That's where the biggest cost is. When you're 500 millions in and you have to scrap a project.

        Exactly. Much of the money they make on the drugs that get to market is spent on developing new drugs.

        Billions upon billions spent on toxic drug formulations with minimal results. Though many physicians have documented non toxic cures ???

        Lack of standards and theft of intellectual property is why drugs are so cheap in India.

        --Does that $757 million include government grants! Since the Government is helping out, Shouldn't its Citizens get a discount?

        They can crunch the numbers a dozen different ways & make the cost look like anything they want. That's the problem with all of health care
