The Martin Shkreli example is perfect for you because it shows someone raising drugs but we don't have the timeframe to see someone quickly ramping up cheaper generic production because of how quickly he was jailed. His company went bankrupt due to generic competition.

Sure more money in, but that does not equate to better meaningful and better results out.

I believe that spending more on R&D will cause more drugs to be developed. If you disagree, we can agree to disagree - I'm not sure it would be a productive conversation.

You miss a fundamental difference.

"I believe that spending more on R&D will cause more drugs to be developed."

More != better.
