Americans typically get better treatment than elsewhere, which accounts for some of the cost, but the real price jack is the fact that other nations refuse to allow pharmaceutical companies to make a profit out of a misguided belief that they should just do it for free.
They steal American Medicine, then have the gal to tell us their healthcare is better, when typically it's not only worse, but it's cheaper because they've literally robbed us for it.
How are we stealing American medicine? American company develops some new medicine, they sell it at a profit, our governments buy it from them, we get it in our hospitals. Where's the theft?
It's basically robbery. By asking for a product and saying people will die without out it, third world countries (everyone else) are shaming the poor corporates into making money. It's like me asking to buy food at a store and saying somebody will die if they refuse to sell it. Not only this, but there is a conspiracy to devalue U.S. healthcare.
