Are you suggesting they shouldn’t manufacture more?



No, they certainly should, and according to them they are trying to. There is currently an unknown level of demand at the current price point, all we know is that it is probably far more than current supply. There's every reason to believe that they will increase production as fast as possible and still only meet demand over a year from now.

Once demand is met, there starts to be an argument for lowering the price and growing the market. Getting the price down to half the current price is when we start to see health benefits that outweigh the cost of treatment and an obvious win for insurance companies to start covering it for everyone.

But until there is supply, lowering cost just means more people fighting over the same supply, not more people getting access.
