11. Case study:
Pharmaceutical companies have introduced various drugs to fight AIDS or the
HIV virus. Inevitably, the firms have been criticized for charging excessive prices for
these drugs ?prices that are beyond the means of the majority of those infected with
HIV or AIDS. The original price of AZT was about $8000 for one year supply per
patient. The corresponding price for Sustiva was $4800. The companies have
responded to the criticism by saying that high prices are necessary in order to recover
the enormous cost of developing the complex drugs. However one of the companies
Merck announced that its prices for the two HIV suppressing drugs in impoverished
parts of the world such as sub-Saharan Africa, would be about one tenth of the price
charged in the U.S.
How would you respond to the issue from the pricing strategy angle and ethical
angle of cross-subsidizing prices with higher prices being charged to patients of
developed country, and lesser price, to the patients of least developed country?
Discuss. [10]
