    Prescription drugs in the U.S. are really expensive because the companies that make these medicines are GREEDY and can set high prices and there aren't as many rules to limit how much they can charge. Also, unlike some other countries, the U.S. government doesn't negotiate these prices to make them lower. This video It's quite an eye-opener though, especially with the USA being known as 'the land of the free.' The difference in healthcare compared to many other countries is both surprising and a bit amusing to me 😂😂😂

      The problem isn't that they're not regulated in price setting. The problem is they don't have to tell us how much everything costs up front so we can shop around and make purchase decisions based on the best value. They don't have to compete for our business. Even companies like communications companies who all agree to keep their prices within certain ranges have to tell us what the price is and let us decide. With medicine and healthcare in general there's none of that. Most of the people telling you what you have to buy (drs and nurses) have no idea what it costs

      It appears there might be a misunderstanding about the pharmaceutical industry. For every new medicine that successfully enters the market, there are 99 unsuccessful programs, each with associated research and development costs that need to be recuperated. Indeed, the success rate is a mere 1%. To illustrate further, only 1 out of every 10 programs advances to clinical trials, and similarly, just 1 out of 10 clinical trials results in a market-ready product. When you calculate the R&D expenditure required for that one eventual market success, the financial burden for pharmaceutical companies becomes evident. Additionally, the U.S. government employs programs like IRA to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies.

      The problem with free healthcare is if you need a CT scan it may take months while in the US You can get a CT scan the very same day if you pay. In Canada there is free healthcare but it takes about 3months to get a CT scan. The problem is that we don’t have free healthcare The problem is that there is no control over pricing. We’ve allowed pharmaceutical companies to become too powerful. Healthcare is a complex topic, but the reason why we have some of the best doctors and treatments in the world is due to competition. If you are the best you make the most money! The doctors aren’t the problem it’s the greed from pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies

    I remember going to universiry here in Russia and we had a transfer student from US. She had asthma and her inhaler was spent, so she was paniking about getting a russian perscription... It took as about an hour to explain to her that all she had to was to go to a local pharmacy and buy the damn thing, no perscription needed. It took us about another hour to explain to her that about 39 dollars in equivalence was absolutely a normal price and she was not buying a knock-off.

I genuine consider US a 3rd world country and worse than African underdeveloped countries just because everyone tries to kill everyone like monkeys for worthless green paper.

    I was in a car collision while in the military. I saw the bill and how much the hospital wanted. They charged for everything used. Understandable. But the cost of the items were sometimes 3x higher than market value. Private insurance will just pay it. Government insurance said, "No. This is how much we are going to pay."
    I'm not for state-run healthcare but it's understandable when private insurance is one reason for the hike in medical services. Combine that with expensive college degrees and licensing, it's no wonder labor costs is so expensive in the medical field. Jake Tran already touched on this.

      Do you work? Because you should have your own insurance and there are subsidies to help you pay for it if you make less than a certain amount. There’s also Medicaid. You cannot go through life expecting to rely on your parents, you need to provide for yourself.

    this video fails to address the root cause of the medical epidemic in america though, why are so many Americans sick to begin with? Instead of giving ideas to find cheaper ways to get your hands on pharmaceuticals, how about giving ideas on how to get off of them completely, how about discussing things like holistic health, using herbs, vegetables, fruits, etc as medicine, things that are free and given to us by mother nature. Americans are so sick due to the toxic environment and toxic foods we are consuming, that should’ve been the real purpose of this video instead of promoting ways to get cheap or free pharmaceutical drugs. We need to abolish the pharmaceutical industry all together and go back to organic/holistic ways of healing people. The pharmaceutical industry is not here to heal you, it’s here to treat you.
