From Health & Wellness: "Big Pharma price gouging: Drugs in the U.S. cost 10 times more than in other countries" ...
Apart from America's ridiculous industry friendly patent laws and other state subsidies, the pharmaceutical industry is making big profits because of the Medicare Part D gift that was granted to the industry by Congress during the Bush administration.
You can read about it here, under "Big pharma pockets $711 billion in profits by robbing seniors, taxpayers."
There's more, but you get the point. The biggest pharmaceutical companies are reaping enormous profits because of favorable legislation and legal protections that have little to do with free market principles. And they're robbing the American consumer in the process.
