Still thinking…
All that extra money for drugs in the U.S. is probably not going to the government. It’s going to the drug companies. They charge different prices in different countries.
Is it a voluntary thing for them to price differently in different countries? Are they making value judgments and only charging what they think each country can afford? Or are they making value judgments and charging the *most* they think each country can afford?
Or are the different prices the result of government intervention? Are governments stepping into the otherwise unrestrained free market and establishing limits on what the drug companies can charge, and our government steps in less than most?
