    That’s just an excuse because many drugs are sold at prices much lower what they are sold in the US. They are not selling them at loss in other countries.

      Definitely not at a loss to produce no, but maybe a loss overall.

      My bet is that the US subsidizes R&D by paying obscene amounts for the drugs and the EU and others just serve as extra income

        That’s what they make you believe. Why American still pay high prices for insulin? It doesn’t cost that much to produce. It just those companies are paying politicians to keep things in their advantages and give you those excuses.
