Part of the problem is drugs in the US are so expensive and hard to obtain. Where I live I receive a cancer drug for free, but the one time it was not available, I just went and bought the month's supply from the pharmacy for $1300. In the states that same drug would cost me $14,000, and of course I couldn't just buy it OTC. BTW the drug is manufactured in the US.
