Let me just check if I understand what you're saying with this... what I read
is you saying that even if these companies did NOT sell their products at
prices considerably higher than the manufacturing costs, they would still have
gobs of cash laying around to develop new drugs.  Then, in support of that
view, you say that they would still have this money because the government is
paying the difference between the companies price and what the consumer is
paying... and the company is still recieveing their outrageous price.

Is that a fair summary?
