Excellent point. I think many people are missing the forest for the trees.
The issue isn't just that Americans pay more for the same prescriptions than other countries do.
Notice the language they use. They choose their words for a reason.
We're just a very large country that is pill happy.
Add to that the fact that the Boomers, the largest generation by far are all pretty elderly now and just on a metric fuckton of meds. The last time I checked, Boomers were taking something like 20 prescriptions a year, on average.
Add to that all the anti-depression, opioids, weight loss, and sleeping pills, and there you go. That's the reason the US makes up such a large percentage of the profits.
(I would also suggest, this being an elite research board and all that it would be a good idea to just look into this and see if this title actually matches what is going on. There are way too many misleading headlines being plastered everywhere to ever trust without verifying. But that's just my concept of what an elite research board would do. 🤷♀️)
