I'm happy about it as long as the price is at our above their marginal costs.

I understand that the spectrum of the drugs that they will be offering is not all that wide. Hear dthat on radio driving home today.

291 is a pretty large number. And it sounds like common ailments too, high blood pressure, allergies, etc. So it sounds like they'll address the larger part of the drug taking population.

the timing is always interesting...just as those start slamming companies for various behavior the free market comes along to prove them wrong. My employer is voluntarily reducing CO2 emissions by the Kyoto called for amount, but in a shorter period of time. Just as those call for governmental regulation, the free market takes care of it on its own.

Are these drugs on which the patent limitation thingy, the amount of time before generic drugs may legaly be sold, has already lapsed?

“From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has already been solved. After all, we already have a drug which can be sold at the incredible price of $8, 000 an annual dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the market by actually curing anyone.”

generally a patent is good for 20 years, but it usually takes 5-10 years after approval before it goes to market. So most drugs are on the market about 12 yrs on average before generics become available.
