Good points, but you are forgetting about the lawyers and the billions Pharma will have to pay out in class action suits when it is found that their "wonder drug" has harmful side effects or kills people. That is another major reason why they are generally slow to roll out new meds. We live in the most litigious society in the world, and it slows down everything, from small businesses to airplane manufacturers to Big Pharma for fear of being sued and losing profit or going bankrupt.
