It's so hard these days to find data without an agenda. There are few sources that one can trust. So what do we do? We resort to common sense and a basic understanding of economics.

The points in this article, even if accurate, don't address the question. Sure, it may cost a lot less and be a lot less risky to produce drugs than the numbers flying around. But so what? It stands to reason that if drug producers are squeezed enough there will be cuts in R&D. At question is only the location of that threshold. No doubt there is some fat there that can be cut without affecting R&D. No doubt there are changes that can be made in advertising to free up some funds for continued R&D. But sooner or later you reach the point where R&D will suffer. That is undeniable.
