I think this is disturbing. "As a practical matter, price could limit use. The pills cost from $5,000 to $14,000 a year in the United States, but only 39 cents a day in some poor countries where they are sold in generic form."

I heard about it on NPR a little while ago, and they priced it at $30 a day. 39 cents versus $30? Wow.
