Of course no one pays that much, directly. 90% of America cannot afford that all at once. So the trick is to get Americans to pay $10/pill at the point of purchase, and an additional $3 taken out of every paycheck, before taxes, whether they get the pill or not. The US healthcare system is a cesspool of interlocking scams and cons. Those who genuinely want people to be healthy, and for sick people to get well, are constantly at war with those who operate under the assumption that a person will hand over everything they own (and maybe even some stuff that other people own) for a decent chance at not dying before they're ready to go--and then still charge a little extra to help someone die when they are ready.
