Disgusting that the America govt does nothing while every other major power is able to get prescription drug prices under control.
And for the rest: part of the problem is that the government is doing stuff, instead of getting out of the way..
Health "Insurance" abstracts these costs away, and works as a very effective method of locking in those inflated costs with no consumer backlash, because many don't connect the dots, and the ones who do feel they have no other option.
It's a racket, acknowledge it.
