We pay for research and development.

Why does that stop the drug companies from charging the same, or more, for overseas drug sales?

[Just mythoughts]

It does not stop them. Presently the US is the cash cow. But with all our illegals and other homegrown welfare recipients the cash flow is tightening. Less people buying (’forced’) to buy insurance, means less money trees to tap into. At some point big pharma will reach the end of research and development. The world becomes one, which means the majority are attached to the system. Little blue pills for grandma, instead of a surgical procedure. Gotta control that population problem.
