Do you think the financial analysis involved with a new drug stops at "costs recovered"? Why should it?

I find it completely bizarre that, instead of getting behind the fact that the US is essentially subsidizing drugs for the 3rd world, people think rich first worlders should be paying sub-Saharan rates.

Could you explain more about what makes it a "fact" ?
