The only reason Americans complain about drug prices is because that’s the one they usually pay directly.

The other parts of the healthcare system are hidden behind taxes and insurance.



Not to be unnecessarily sparky here, but are we limiting this discussion to legal drugs?

Drugs like Oxy are both "legal" yet also consumed illegally. Made by a perfectly legit pharma company.

And that's before we discuss the river of fentanyl apparently flowing across the Canadian border...


I think insurance prices are very much a part of the overall healthcare conversation too though.
