Same here. I does not cost much even if you get it yourself but I guess some US law exists that forbids sending from EU to the states.

Currently FDA exclusive marketing approvals and patents are the big hammer that keep the market uncompetitive. (The FDA grants exclusive approval for first movers, for a few years. It's not exactly great, but that's usually the smaller problem. The bigger is the patents.) Also, currently due to the enormous money in US healthcare (the medicine market very much included) a lot of R&D costs are recouped there using these exclusivity strategies. The biggest problem is that there are many effectively uninsured people in the US, and they are the sufferers of the aforementioned emergent system. (Even if there many "state pharmaceutical assistance programs", many people who would need it don't know about it, and even if they do the paperwork burden is substantial, and obviously it's just a stopgap measure.)
