Why can a dose of scorpion anti-venom cost $100 a vial in Mexico and $10,000 in Merica? Same with a 90 day course of Hep-C drugs that are $90,000 here and $1000 in India. exact same items mind you. The difference is the Government allows and promotes price fixing here.

Nonsense - the difference is the U.S. government issues patents for new drugs, and doesn't block drug companies from pricing patented drugs so as to recover not just per-unit production costs, but also the costs of developing those drugs and the drugs that never made it to market. If drug companies can no longer do this, there will never be another new drug developed.

Look up the cost of sofosburiv in America And India. It’s so trivially easy to verify that it is embarrassing. Check out the AZ woman charged $80k for 2 doses of $100 scorpion anti venom.

Patented drugs are 50-60% higher here than in France And double the cost of UK and Australia.

Nonsense.
