Pharmaceutical company question?


Looking for someone who works in a pharmaceutical company who is willing to answer these by email:

1.Drug costs have been increasing about 15% per year, and are one of the fastest growing health care costs. Have you experienced this and if so, to what do you attribute this?

2.Do you think that the increasing trend to buy drugs from Canada will lead to American companies lowering their prices? If so will this impact the ability of new drugs to be produced?

3.What does your company give higher importance, marketing and advertising of new prescription drugs or research and development? Why?

4.Does your company pursue any methods of lowering costs of prescription drugs? If so, what? If not, why not?

5..Many companies state that the high costs are in part to offset research and development costs. Is this so in your organization?

Anyone who can help, this is for a school project, please email:
