The point is that the price should be going down as the technology gets older and more of the initial investment and development is paid off.
But that's not how it actually works, because these firms don't actually compete with each other, and we can't actually walk away from them.

You can still buy the original for $20 a vile at Walmart. You dont need the newest label, it's just a consumerist desire.

But who are the producers?
The insurance companies, the hospitals, or the doctors?
