However, let's say that I have this cancer, and there are two treatment options available to me. A $700 pill that has been tested and approved by the FDA or a $0.50 pill that hasn't been tested and could be anything, really. I'll pay the $700, thank you.

This is just your arrogance and ignorance speaking, the USA is nothing special, you do not produce anything that others cant LOL china makes your stuff LOL
The FDA seal of approval has more to do with $$$$ than with anything else LOL

thank you for the example, just what I was looking for:
Cost and Medication Access: The wholesale list price for sofosbuvir is $1,000 per 400 mg pill. Accordingly, the cost for the sofosbuvir component in a 12-week treatment course is $84,000 (and the total regimen cost is depends on the other medications used in combination with sofosbuvir).
1000$/pill
