[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently the reason UK, Canada and elsewhere get cheap medications is that the US basically pays for them for the entire world and any small amount the drug companies get from government healthcare countries is just gravy. We could probably reduce the prices we pay here by forcing the drug companies to charge all countries the same amount.[/quote] amen to that. It's not just drugs, though. I paid $1000 for a 3d ultrasound years ago, out of pocket. In the UK, that would've cost me the equivalent of $200, out of pocket. I had a csection in the US years ago. With insurance, it cost me $6k (insurance was $700/mo). My friend in the UK got a csection right around the same time. It cost her 10gbp for the pain killer. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/27/upshot/expensive-health-care-world-comparison.html There is something deeply wrong with our healthcare system. We are basically paying to keep healthcare costs low for the rest of the world.[/quote]
