Does that surprise anyone? Nowadays the cost of things has little bearing on research/design/production costs, but more on "what they're willing to pay".

But that cost just gets passed on to the patients of course.

That doesn't work in larger markets however, where there's actual competition. I read recently on slashdot about how an author tried changing some of his online books from $7-10 ea to $0.99 ea and got something like several hundred times the sales, increasing his bottom line dramatically. And now he's fighting a losing battle with the publishers that still have electronic rights on the rest of his books, who refuse to drop the price on them despite reality being thrust in their face.
