54. No the costs of medicine is a bit more complex than that
Its SOOO expensive to make these meds..Biological manufacturing is a high skilled, white collar competitive field. You have to have certain skills and the companies usually have to pay pretty high salaries to get skilled help.
Some of the pricing is a bit inflated but in terms of cost of production there are very few fields that have the same complexity in production. Thats why a lot of this is being shipped overseas..cheaper labor, less regulations etc.
