You have pointed out the KEY POINT -- the people of the United States are a generous people. I get so upset about the liberal nonsense about "we are using more than our share of world resources." If the US and its free market/capitalist economic system didn't exist, the world would still have a small elite and the rest scratching a mere existence (per Hobbes).

When people in the U.S. pay $84,000 for the drug, they are helping to pay for the very high cost of the research and development that went into inventing it. By comparison, when people in Egypt pay only $900, they are only paying for the cost of manufacturing it.

America has provided so many benefits to a world that doesn't appreciate it.

I actually think they would prefer that world.

Thanks for your kind words.
