Drugs cost more because...

Pharmaceuticals cost so much only because drug companies need more money
to invest in finding cures for disease. TRUE or FALSE

Answer:
Drug companies spend far more money on marketing and advertising than on
R&D. The "we need money for R&D" plea is a marketing gimmick used by drug
companies to make consumers feel better about buying drugs at monopoly
prices. That's why Americans pay more for prescription drugs than any
country in the world: sometimes 30,000% or more over the actual cost of
drug ingredients. And what about drug R&D costs? Much of the research
used by drug companies is actually paid by taxpayer dollars via the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants to research universities.
