Well this is literally in my backyard……
Good to know I’ll be able to get the diabetes medication I need sometime between 2027 and 2029.
Boomers got the money and the demand… smart move.
But still charge a ridiculous amount more for it in the U.S. than in other countries.
My guess is it has something to do with the already exorbitant healthcare costs Americans are making (causing the asked price not to be an outlier) in combination with the obesity epidemic going on in the country.
Gotta love the invisible hand of the free market.
It’s much more to do with the fact that all of those other countries allow the state to negotiate drug prices.
That might also help a tad.
With something like 2/3 of American military-age men being too overweight or obese to serve, these drugs would likely be considered strategically essential in any [hopefully] theoretical throwdown.
If we capped the price they could sell it for, they’d increase production to maintain profit
Why do you hate freedom, America and puppies?
