Someone forwarded a list to me showing the actual cost to make some medicine and the 2 or 3 thousand percent mark up. I lost it and would like another copy. Some resercher in Washington D.C. had found it an put it on the web.

You should see the markup on jewelry! If we knew what the markup was on everything we would be very reluctant to buy anything.
If someone is in the market place to make money then the markup will be whatever we the people are willing to pay. AARP is pushing for publication of drug prices at each pharmacy so one could make a choice. You can help by telling your legislators that you are interested in such a law.

yes, like tobacco, it's a highly profitable industry. For example for over the counter large bottle of tylenol could cost upwards of $15 and probably cost the drug store about $10 would only cost the manufacturer under $2.50.
