the big Pharm companies make TONS of $ before they're required to let their drug go generic. they justify it by saying the cost goes to fund the research and tests--double-blind placebo, peer-reviewed essays, etc., the "gold standard of Western medince". i have a love-hate relationship with these companies, as well as with the FDA. i once took a med that cost $500 per month! after it went generic, it only cost $25. gotta love our "death care" system!
