That makes no sense. Why would someone buying lipitor need to subsidize research for all other drugs researched? Shouldnt the pay something related to wjat it cost to bring lipitor to existence and market? And I dont accept your premise-the us does more research than many countries combined-at all, I'm just playing along until i sit somewhere i can look a reliable source refuting it.

Doesn't it seem to you that #1 ridiculously obviates #2, especially in a capitalist system, and to the point where it is irrelevant and laughable to even pretend that #2 matters in any way?

The drug business is used to fund Wall Street. Word to Dr. Umar.
because shyt ain't free, dummy. And there has to be an incentive to create that drug.
you're answering your own question.
Fine. Don't believe me then. Go look it up.

It does matter.
For every drug that makes it, THOUSANDS don't. Especially with high-throughput screenings and the tons of dead-ends that go utterly no where.
You truly have no understanding of the scale of investment that goes into finding ONE possible choice.
because it's an elimination process .... and it takes forever because different elements and compounds are used to treat that specific pathogen
Genetic disorders can have synthetic compounds designed in the lab too
After that are concerns about toxicity, attacks from the organisms antibodies etc all have to be considered...
Then tested over and over again.....with human subjects .......this takes years
You should see the pages on FDA drug approvals with the research included ...it can be bible sized
The equipment, salaries, rent and sterilization costs are high but if it pulls through
Nah, fukk all that. Why isn't it free?because it's an elimination process .... and it takes forever because different elements and compounds are used to treat that specific pathogen

woah!
slow down genius let me get a pen
, so my argument that things are free is wrong you say?helping Humanity?
Having a product that you can sell for a fair price?
ahh...no...no...not at all
How you keep posting links that body your argument is beyond me
The next 2 countries/regions listed spend more than the US
and your link isn't even particular to Pharm
So in China for every drug that makes it, zero don't?
you're such a light weight

Not if you want to incentivize people to pursue hard, unrewarding, hole-in-ones that may not even completely solve complex problems.woah!
Patents protect American handwork and ingenuity. When those expire, generics take advantage of those market forces.helping Humanity?
Yes. You are. The price of a drug reflects the R&D and manufacturing costs.
You don't understand big pharma. Which is understandable considering how dismissive you are about basic concepts that preclude from getting in the door of any of these companies.How you keep posting links that body your argument is beyond me
And produce none of the drugs, no where near as much valuable research or any of the profound discovery.The next 2 countries/regions spend more than the US
Look it up. I've worked in labs researching drug targets. You haven't.and your link isn't even particular to Pharm
So in China for every drug that makes it, zero don't?
What?
You're in an area you don't understand.you're such a light weight
Then why are so many key drugs invented in other countries where prices are cheaper?
wait wait I had put my pen down, let me take some notes
this is some brilliant irrelevant stuff you droppin'
Then why does it not reflect in other countries which spend even a higher percentage of their gdp on R&D?
I have yet to find someone who knows anything you are discussing when they or the plain facts disagree with you

The USA is the innovator in drugs, other countries can't afford to pay more, and R&D isn't cheap.Then why are so many key drugs invented in other countries where prices are cheaper?

Theres free seminars at local colleges and universities with talks discussing this shyt all the time. I suggest you go and try to learn a few things. This is nothing new.
READ THESE before you reply to me. I could post lecture notes, pdfs, powerpoint slides etc...but you're just truly uninformed. Hell, two days ago I was an in-service training about a similar topic.
Nope!

Really Europeans seem to be doing pretty good, yet they pay far less than we do for drugs

Woah Einstein!!! Really is it less expensive in Europe?
Had you read what I posted, you'd know this was false.Nope!

For example, your notion about them negotiating drugs?
Thats false for several reasons because the US bans insurance companies from not covering drugs that only offer marginal improvements of outcomes. So $40,000 drugs will still be on the table and covered. Thus driving costs.
Other nations don't do that because they say, if you can't get it down, despite any marginal improvement in efficacy, we won't cover it until you show that it radically changes outcomes.
yeah right, it's cuz I did not read your bullshyt
I'll take the Sanford PhD with the data over your shilling self and a bunch of reddit posts
you selectively ignored the Primary data I showed you from the Tufts Center on Drug Developmentyeah right, it's cuz I did not read your bullshyt
