Excellent side bar. My guess is that we will continue to have to do personal comparisons like this. Even IF the current administration stays on this course, my guess is that US based pharma companies will continue to drag their feet to delay erosion of profits. I love free enterprise and pharma's role in our lives (witness vaccine development), but after studying this, I have come to the conclusion that the pricing of patented drugs is less than noble!
