Does anyone know the actual cost of manufacturing AZT now?  Since the drug had  
already been FDA approved, I can not understand the outrageous price being  
charged for the drug.  I have heard that the actual cost is five cents per  
dose.  Can someone supply the correct figure and a published source if  
possible.
