Basically correct. Actually, prices started to accelerate in 2003-04 and by '05 were around $60.

It's Big Pharma's fault. Big Tobacco, too. And Big Sugar had a hand in it too. But they all work for the Illuminati anyway, so it's really an old Eastern European dude who looks like Christopher Lloyd (in "Back to the Future," not "Taxi").
