Manufacture? That's the cheapest part, kind of why they can do it in India.
What about research, develop and get approval?
Not a whole lot of those getting done in India, eh?

My son's advair is $400 a month at local chain pharmacy, or $80 for a 6 month supply from them. The only difference is that fancy packaging.

Don't be ridiculous. The only difference a smaller government would make in this case is it would cost less to bribe.

Small govt wouldnt be trying to control the market. Including import.

C EO of Pfizer got a 27.9 Million dollar pay raise, WHY
Pfizer increased the price on over 100 drugs.

As I recall the Clintons were at war with "big Pharma" but nothing came of it. Nobody even talked about the price of drugs during the eight years of Obama even when the ironically named ACA was created. A republican is in office and all of a sudden the media decided that the price of drugs has become a crisis. No surprises here. It should be noted that U.S. based drug companies are responsible for the R&D that goes into making "miracle" drugs.
