I believe that the cost of Anavex's blarcamesine could start at $16 per pill and over time could be incrementally reduces to about $1.25 per pill while continuing to make a acceptable profit.

Good luck and GOD bless,

There is no doubt in my mind no single price will apply to all. A list price may be established, but does anyone think they'll pay it in third world countries. Likewise insurance companies will make their own deals, as will Medicare. Finally the company will no doubt make arrangements with poorer people who either don't have insurance, or who get little benefit from them, for lower priced, and perhaps even free drugs for some of them. Investors will never be told how many pills were sold, they'll be given revenue figures and does it really matter if a billion dollars in revenue represents 100,000 pills sold, or 100 million pills sold, or more.

Medical costs are worst than the assurances of a used car salesman. A 7 figure hospital bill might easily settle in 5 figures, and all are satisfied. Drs. everywhere are learning how to use the medicare and other insurance rules to their benefit. Some Drs. refuse to work in the system, but those who do are still doing very well.

Here in LA I cannot say how many buildings I've seen with Cedar's, Kaiser, or UCLA on the outdoor sign. Inside the building I've gone into, often various floors are actually for different providers. At City of Hope Kaiser has their own staff of Drs. working there, I'm sure they all share ideas. I don't know if Kaiser does any research work there.
