[QUOTE="carly, post: 3667273, member: 22109"]There was some law passed a long time ago--I think it had to do with when the AIDS drugs were first coming out--that a US pharmaceutical company had to base their price on the cost-of-living for that country. This was to prevent them from charging $200 for an Rx in a country where people routinely earned $200 a month or less. The theory at the time was that the company could just charge "a little bit more" to US customers (that presumably all had insurance) to make up the difference. Many years later and foreign drugs continue to be cheap compared to our prices. However, this crap about jacking up the prices on insulin and Epi-pens is pure greed. I've read stories about people dying because they couldn't afford to get more insulin before payday--and I no longer have an Epi-pen at all, let alone the three I used to have (home, purse, and work.)[/QUOTE]
