Drug makers spend more in marketing than R&D

Absolutely untrue. It's amazing how this "fact" continues to be shared even when shown to be false.

I knew you'd reference that study, it is really poorly done. Lumping all SG&A into "marketing" is wrong.

SG&A is a catch all. It included things like staplers, secretaries, etc. it's not purely marketing.
