Yes, it also includes buying lunches for doctors and private jets for the executive staff. What it does not include is R&D in any shape or form. The fact is R&D isn't making drug prices high.

Neither are their SGA expenses. The two combined are just under half GSK's revenue.

Anyway, that's irrelevant to trying to score cheap points with a false equivalence.
