First of, I think that health-care prices in the US are horrible and have terrible consequences for patients
However, the blame doesn't lie with pharmaceutical companies. They're not selling their products cheaper elsewhere because they hate the US and love other countries
They're doing it because the US has created a system that benefits corporations more than its citizens. If blame needs to be distributed it lies with the people in power who built these systems and those who gave them that power
Healthcare in Europe is cheaper because the population fought for it, sometimes literally
