I knew we paid more but who knew it was this much more, and for that matter, why do we have to pay so much? Marketing and Politicians? If the politicians want to reduce the cost of Medicare and Medicaid then cutting the cost of drugs would be a great start. Force the big drug companies to charge us the average of the next 20 countries? From what I see below the drug companies probably could cut the marketing BS enough to cover that change in pricing.
