@Burnley123 well, here Medicare and Medicaid is government. They cover more than half. It's just that Big Pharma is one greedy mofo, a prescription drug that costs $10 in Germany costs $250 here.

That's because Medicare BY LAW is prohibited from negotiating discounts that Walmart, CVS and big hospital chains get.

Change the law and Medicare would get the discounts for bulk purchases, too.
