There is however another side to this as well. One company invested $1 billion Dollars in bringing a “curative” drug to the market. There is substantial risk in this endeavor to pharma and loss of substantial amounts of monies are never to be dismissed. Somehow though drug development must equate to patient care and feasibility of obtaining treatment for the general population.
MarionNo wonder the biotech and healthcare market in the US has gone berserk lately with takeovers, mergers, acquisitions and all of that. Crazy money involved with all of this and as you say, enormous costs involved for patients.

Drug costs are highest for the US population causing an enormous burden on patients not only fighting a disease, but having to deal with the enormous cost associated with treatment. Advocates are behind this in full force.

MarionSo hope that they have some success here with this Marion as the cost of drugs and especially the newer ones and therapies is extortionate. We have the same problem with the NHS and funding drugs and some health authorities will pay for some and others not. Not a good situation at all.

Gavin
