Drugs can be massively expensive to make with some needing many decades of work so it makes sense they are sold for a lot to gain back that investment. The only issue is if they don't drop the price after they have recouped the cost and profit they needed. Capitalism strikes again.

    You also arent funding the development of the drug that worked, but also the dozen that didnt.

    Not saying they arent predatory, just that the math of "The pill only costs $0.25" is a massive oversimplification.
