>>I would say that drug costs are more related to the cost of doing the research on efficacy and safety rather than the cost of manufacturing.<< Neal - The cost of producing a drug necessarily includes the cost of that research. But of course, that cost is pretty much the same for any two drugs. The only place they will differ significantly is in the cost of manufacture. The exclusivity only matters if the drug companies are making all their profits by selling drugs on the open market, competing with each other. If they are rewarded by the government for coming up with cheap, effective drugs, then that's what we'll get. - Allen
