@oldgreenpaint Why? Don't you know all us Americans are rich?? :).
I don't get it either. I really feel bad for those with any form of cancer with no health insurance. It's almost a guaranteed death sentence. I would have no problem with paying the lowest price the big pharmaceuticals get for overseas pricing.

@chipe Your sarcasm is spot on! If a group of people has any form of wealth, then it seems the plan is always to take it away from them one way or another. And you are correct. That is how the USA is often viewed. Incorrectly. I never bought into the Medicare drug plan 9 years ago when I became eligible. Part D was so incomprehensible that I just gave up. A Donut Hole? Let’s make it so impossible to understand that drug coverage isn’t popular. I think it has gotten better? But my 9 year penalty now makes it unaffordable. The Advantage Plans are starting to go away with many hospitals not accepting them anymore. I think Mayo takes just one?

@chipe Even the EU struggled with this: pharma companies had been charging different prices in different countries, but with the 1990s Schengen agreement (open borders and common currency for a subset of the EU), people just started ordering meds not covered by their national healthcare programmes from wherever it was cheapest, e.g. Germans would order from Spain.
Not sure if/how they ever dealt with that.
