Regulation hurdles were met, and the cost of a plant is overblown. Most specialty pharmacy are made in small labs with a few pharmacy techs, and they can make other things in between this drug. I think the issue is that of pharma alows the price to drop on this drug, they lose negotiations on other drugs. They don't want a precedence to be set where they drop thier price if insurance companies refuse to pay.
