A drug for my kid's IBS costs $1400 in the US and $30 in Russia (and moreover, it's available over the counter there). Same exact drug. Made in Italy, so it's probably cheaper still in Italy. It's not genetic or anything else that would justify a high price - it's a simple antibiotic. Probably costs a dollar a gallon to make. I'm seriously considering finding a good clinic in e.g. Israel where I could pay cash for treatment, and giving up US medical insurance entirely. Thankfully now I can do that without paying a penalty. $15K/yr for a family of 3, with crazy deductibles is kooky. If I get cancer or something, getting treatment in the US would be an insane proposition.
