Everyone asking for sources fornthis, just think about it. What if Europe decided that iPhones we're too expensive and implemented Single-Payer Phone Care? They'd dictate a price that the government would pay for iPhones in their countries and Apple would either not sell iPhones in Europe at all, or they would sell for the dictated price. They'd do their market studies and possibly conclude that they can jack up U.S. prices and still stay in business in Europe.
With something like pharmaceuticals, of course the U.S. customers are going to pay the higher price, they need the medicine! That means that European countries are of course squeezing the drug companies (which really means squeezing U.S. citizens) as much as they can get away with. They would be dumb not to.
