- The most expensive drug in the U.S. is Soliris, from Alexion (ALXN). It costs $409,500 a year, and treats a rare disorder in which the immune system destroys red blood cells at night. Many of the most expensive drugs -- such as Soliris -- treat rare diseases that only a few hundred people suffer from. Those drugs aren't the real problem. Rather, it's the drugs in the $20,000 to $100,000 range, which mainly treat cancer and multiple sclerosis. Those diseases are very common in the elderly population.

How pharma bro Martin Shkreli described his own drug price hike: âAlmost all of it is profit.â In late May of last year, Turing Pharmaceuticals, then a little-known drug company, was nearing a deal to acquire Daraprim, a 62-year-old drug that fights a rare but severe parasitic infection. Very good. Nice work as usual, the company's young chief executive, Martin Shkreli, wrote to the chairman of the board. In August, he wrote to someone outside the company that hiking the price of the drug would bring in $375 million a year — almost all of it is profit, which he predicted would continue for three years. Should be a very handsome investment for all of us, Shkreli wrote.

Strange Medicine (ImClone, the biotechnology company founded by her friend Sam Waksal, made the drug.) But recently Eribitux has acquired a new, and perhaps more ominous, distinction. At $17,000 a month, Erbitux is one of the most expensive cancer drugs ever made. For the record, it is not the most expensive. That distinction is currently held by Zevalin, a $24,000-a-month treatment for a relatively rare type of lymphoma. But the prevalence of colon cancer—the disease strikes 106,000 Americans a year—makes the price of Erbitux especially troubling.
