The corporate rebuttal is that drug firms are honestly struggling to contain their spiraling costs and turn a profit in a formidably complex and competitive industry. Research and development costs, the key to corporate success in the drug industry, have lofted from an average of $55 million for each new medication in the 1970s to $125 million today.
