>> I hate to say this, but the practices of Big Pharma would indeed lead a rational person to conclude that they are "overpaid." As my last post suggests, the marketing has gotten sort of ridiculous. But that's part of running a business. Big Pharma is in a high-risk business. The rewards have to be there if they're going to take the risks. Big Pharma, to some extent, isn't playing a "house" game -- they on the other side, rolling the dice. Consider the once-great Dow-Corning partnership, wiped out by one bad roll of the dice. Doesn't happen often but when it does it can be bloody.
