- missedthecue 3mo agoYes I know. That sounds about what it should be. Maybe less actually.
- bhelkey 3mo agoWhy should drugs in America cost >2x the price of drugs in other countries?
- missedthecue 3mo agoInvert the question. Why do other countries pay half as much? Because they can't afford to pay more.
- denkmoon 2mo agoYou don't pay twice as much just because you can lol
- estearum 3mo agoBecause that's what efficient pricing regimes do.
