Kefauver presses drug price reform after 30 cent tablet
Senator Estes Kefauver told the drug industry that American patience with price gouging is wearing thin as he questioned why a 30 cent Methorten tablet costs a manufacturer 15 cents to make. He warned that without more regulation the government may impose direct controls and criticized advertising, profits, and licensing deals fueling costs borne by patients and the elderly. He noted major firms spend about 24 cents per sales dollar on promotion, far more than on research.
