I'm not familiar with the swiss health care system, but in Norway the government foots most of the bill for prescription drugs. The government is negotiating price with the manufacturer and as a big buyer they can get a fair price.
- mrweasel 10y agoI have an EpiPen, just in case, because I keep bees. It is a prescription drug, but government co-pay doesn't kick in because the price is to low. I paid USD120, around DKK800, for one EpiPen. My guess is that the US prices are higher, because insurance will pick up the bill for most people, allowing the manufacturer rise the prices with little consequence... for most people. Generally speaking Americans tend to pay a high cost for their lack of a national healthcare system, with very little benefit.
