Pharmaceutical companies are pretty greedy/shitty, I agree, but some of y'all are missing what's right in front of you.

Terrible disease, but extremely rare.

Small market for the drug...very few sales.

Research and Development costs were undoubtedly very high.

Of course it's expensive. I'm surprised they developed it at all.

These threads are the equivalent to the normal hospital bill threads showing people owe 100s of thousands.

It’s not really this. As part of our pricing, the US population pays for all of the R&D that goes into these drug. Most other countries just pay for the actual cost of the production/mamufacturing. It’s why our drugs are crazy expensive compared to say, the same exact drug in Europe.

We are also the ones that the “clinical studies” are tested on.

Basically we have become the world’s lab rats.
