Biotech medicines proteins made by altering the DNA of bacteria and yeast or mammal cells and infused into sick patients are the fastest growing category of health spending. Sales extended $40 billion in 2006 when reports indicated there were more than 400 biotech products being synthesized to treat AIDS, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's and a hundred other diseases. The manufacture of biotech's is more complex as well as costly than conventional medicine and the cost to patients can run as high as $25,000-50,000 a year.
