Big pharmaceuticals companies are part of the corruption of America. When I see something that used to cost 50 cents go to $60 in 2 years? AFTER Obama's so called "Affordable Health Care" thingy? Really? What am I supposed to do, call a freekin cop? The corruption of America. Building overpriced VA hospitals, building light rail, moving airports we never asked for or wanted...all for big $ and the contractors/providers/PACS just wanted...Funny how that works, reminds me of that movie "China Town".
The drug in question here is pretty new and took a lot of research to manufacture. I understand the high costs involved, Pfizer needs to make the money while they can.
What I am curious about is the price of Seconal as opposed to that of Valium, or Librium .
Why are reds so much more expensive than its benzodiazepine competitors? They've been manufacturing barbiturates for more than a century, is it really that much more difficult than other tranquilizers?
