Jim,

Regardless of a $100k or $300K annual price, they'll be perceived as gouging needy pts. And the whole generic drug industry is based upon the public's desire to avoid being gouged by big pharma on far more "reasonably" priced drugs.

Without having sufficient facts to do the real math, I suspect that big pharma is "gouging" far more on arthritis treatments than ALXN will ever do for PNH. And if ALXN truly misbehaves, it does risk the wrath of some gov't in some part of the world taking action to permit a generic supply to come into being sooner than would otherwise be the case.

IMO,
Ian
