it's human nature.  if there is no generic for a drug they can prtty much charge what ever they want.  Lets be honest we would do the same thing.

Well there's a lot of research and development that go into them that the pharmaceutical companies then need to recoup. But I wish they were cheaper! It takes a looooong time for drugs to become generic.
