Thailand Prescription drug cost.

[maump]

I've never understood why Americans have accepted the profiteering from US pharmaceutical firms when new drug developments are subsidized by US taxpayers (see, e.g., "US Tax Dollars Funded Every New Pharmaceutical in the Last Decade,":https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspe...he-last-decade, September 2, 2020).

We are all very pissed about it. but congress in in the pocket of corporations here and the pharmaceutical industry is one of the worst (next to military congressional industrial complex). as many know, our federal healthcare system Medicare is not allowed to negotiate for drug discounts by LAW. so when you retire, your cost for medicines increase when you enter the "mandatory" federal health system.

we do not have a democracy we have a plutocracy.

the purpose of this thread was to ask about drug prices in Thailand. when I searched online to compare Thai to USA prices, it was quite a bit more in Thailand than here for the generics medications I take.
