    In the US it costs $100 an oz to manufacturer (just to get it into the bottle). It is crazy that having the gov manufacture it can reduce costs so much. Probably a poster child for single payer.

      It’s a big part of the reason India doesn’t recognise Pharma patents - they make their own versions and don’t worry about paying the huge licensing costs.
