My comment was actually an argument - that the cost of drugs is necessary to fund their development. Your comment was just stating that you disagree, with no argument.
It's certainly interesting that Europe has more drug companies headquartered there. Though that doesn't necessarily mean all their operations and revenue are in those countries, but whatever.
