Worse, in many cases you're getting an existing 100% solution repackaged for $X * 1000. Anything routine is so expensive in the US because regulation's gone completely out the window. An area I'm familiar with for example: in Canada (where I am now) Salbutamol inhalers cost about $20-25. In California I was lucky to find it less than $100. And this is for a well-known decades old generic. See also: insulin. It's making headlines[1] that companies are finally dropping prices down to roughly in line with the rest of the world (starting in 2026). And this is after other measures have already been taken -- it used to be much worse.[2] Worth repeating: this price gouging is for generic and old medication.
