currently, prescription drug prices are set by drug companies according to market demands. a new regulation under consideration would allow the government to require manufacturers to sell certinn frugs at lower prices in exchange for faster regulatory approval of the drugs themselves. this new practice would result in drug companies receiving less revenue per year for each drug available on the market and would therefore implete the development of new medicines.
which of the following, if true, most strongly indicates that the new regulation favors drug manufactruers' long-term economiv interest?
A. the regulation eliminates numerous tax deductions for drug development
B. regulatory approval often takes more than two years, during which time a manufacturer cannot recover the heavy costs spent to develop the drug
C. one of the most expensive parts of th eprocess by which manufacturers bring drugs to market is the testing and approval precedure
D. a regulation like the one under consideration was first enacted in a country where there is no patent protection for drugs developed for human consumption
E. the lower prices required by the governend would still be higher than the prices of the generic alternatives
