Yes, and that is why "big bad Pharma" charges so much for prescriptions. Because the few that are actually profitable fund the research and development for those that are not profitable or help niche populations. Example: the very few that suffer from like Multiple Sclerosis (90 patients per 100,000 population - less than 1%).
You are cheating everyone if you buy from off-shore suppliers or vote to restrict Big Pharma's R&D.
