Merck's profits have been around $6 billion per year for the past 6 or 7 years. Yet we constantly here about how Pharma companies have to charge excessive prices in the USA to justify their R+D expenses. At the same time, the big Pharmas are often "giving away" their products in 3rd world countries.

We need more then tort reform to fix these problems. Fair pricing, at a global level, is a good place to start.
