FOCUS: Why are drug prices for Americans so costly?

By Raleigh Perry  |  No one would know except the upper management what the cost of Research and Development for medications are, but it is immense.  Packaging those drugs in the manufacturing process adds to the price.  Marketing is where costs really get out of hand.
