Look through the process to make some generic drugs - aspirin, for
example.  You might be surprised.

On top of that, there's the cost of equipment to make the drugs.

(And then there's the non-FDA parts of the cost to actually develop the
drug in the first place, but you're talking piracy anyway.)
