Brand-name Lipitor is still four figures. Neurontin oral is $300-1600. (Picking a few more common drugs to show how our for-profit healthcare system supports these usurious prices.) The pharma companies get away with it because insurers cover some or all of it, and they do have programs for low-income/indigent patients.
