I think it's most likely a combination of research and development, marketing, and lobbyists (political and medical.)
I definitely think we are getting screwed and something needs to be done... but I also think that my original statement brings a fair point and something to keep in mind. If Europeans only allow one dollar per pill, for example, those American companies are going to make the other night dollars per pill somewhere... and that's with us, because we can kind of afford it and we created it.
