How so?

Are not drug companies finding drugs that people desire a great deal for their life saving and other efficacious properties?

I'm guessing that you don't like that newer drugs are too expensive. What would be your definition of "too expensive" and what would be your proof that such a situation exists?



Wow that was a lot of assumptions :)

The current scenario isn't working IMO if the majority of the cost comes from the approval process.

Drugs for me er fairly cheap as I come from Denmark.

With regards to proof. The article we are debating here is proof that since the production of a drug is extremely cheap the development of it is extremely expensive.

Surely that cost can be cut.
