A joint study between Yale University, King’s College Hospital in London and Doctors Without Borders found a single shot could be made for just 89 cents.
Then they’d just fake the costs of R&D. The US has lots of money, so everyone is charging more; notice how they charge way less in other countries (like $150-250, which is only ≈4,000% markup). That the US average income ($70K) is way different than the US median income ($40K), except for District of Columbia ($80K)… well, whose fault is that?
There should be a limit, like they lose exclusivity when they break even plus 5% or 10% of the total cost of RD or something.
Those numbers will be manipulated. Good line of thought, keep working on the solution.
Yeah obviously, maybe a time limit then but that can also be moved somehow… The only solution to greedy corps is a solid government…

You can squeeze the rich for 2 years then it’s generic
US states should probably set a price limit based on median income, like from Puerto Rico’s $20K/yr, to District of Columbia’s $80K/yr:

Price limits and such are fine but you can’t beat generics for putting pressure on price.
